0h, Lilly

She was a beautiful thing

The kind of beauty

you only see once
And the kind of beauty
to blind like the sun
0h, Lilly

She was always young

The kind ofyouth

you only feel once
Thirty six and a half

laps around the sun
0h, me

I was the uglier kind

The kind to only ever

catch a blue moon stare
And the kind to never

even have the mind to care
0h, me

See, lwas always old

The kind oflife where
you were never a child
Never really once free

but kudzu wild
She laughed
real quick and with a
slap in the face
Said life's

not ajoke,

it's a goddamn maze
0h, Lilly
She was one with the words
They were the kind you'd need to
hear but they were always late
Yeah she'd read you like a book

and then she'd throw you away
0h, Lilly

She was clever as hell

The turn of a phrase

came easy for her
She was in love with all the

ways you could abuse a word
0h, me
lwasn't alright
I ran too fast,
too far, too long

Ran right out of my

head and into a song
0h, me
Down at the end of my rope
Lilly showed up

just to cut me down

Said now what would you

do ifl ever left town
She laughed real quick
and with a slap in the face
Said life's not a game,
it's a goddamn maze
0h, Lilly

She was a beautiful thing
