"The Prettiest Thing" lyrics

The Prettiest Thing

The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightening from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark
A million miles an hour
With somewhere to be

So why does it seem
Like a picture
Just hanging up on someone else's wall
Lately I haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind

I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I still know

That the prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck
In the old pine floor
Looks like home to me

Now I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
Thinking of the prettiest thing
