Janis Ian - Nina lyrics
[Janis Ian - Nina lyrics]
Caught up in the song’s embrace
Alphabets of lightning falling from your lips
Raining on your fingertips
Any kind of fool could see
You were always meant to be
Miracles in moonlight worshipped from afar
Burning like a falling star
And how were you to know this world
Was so damned hard on beauty?
Frightened by your lightning song
Nina, can’t you see?
You were always beautiful to me
Crazy as a loon, in your own cartoon
What a world those eyes must see
When you hit the mark, you stopped my heart
Then you’d turn around and grind it
Right into the ground, I’d find it
Cradled in the arms of song
Right where miracles belong
Melody and madness, sanctity and sadness
A heart at war nothing morе
But how were you to know this world
Was so damned hard on bеauty?
Frightened by your lightning song
Nina can’t you see?
You were always beautiful to me
