Song language: English
I Came So Far for Beauty |
| I came so far for beauty |
| I left so much behind |
| My patience and my family |
| My masterpiece unsigned |
| I thought I’d be rewarded |
| For such a lonely choice |
| And surely she would answer |
| To such a very hopeless voice |
| I practiced on my sainthood |
| I gave to one and all |
| But the rumours of my virtue |
| They moved her not at all |
| I changed my style to silver |
| I changed my clothes to black |
| And where I would surrender |
| Ah now I would attack |
| I stormed the old casino |
| For the money and the flesh |
| And I myself decided |
| What was rotten and what was fresh |
| And men to do my bidding |
| And broken bones to teach |
| The value of my pardon |
| The shadow of my reach |
| But no, I could not touch her |
| With such a heavy hand |
| Her star beyond my order |
| Her nakedness unmanned |
| I came so far for beauty |
| I left so much behind |
| My patience and my family |
| My masterpiece unsigned |
