Pretty Things Songtext
von River Matthews

Fairytales and stories come and go, I know
But imagine for a while, ′cause the good ones stay in style
Just like Aurora's smile when she awoke
Can you see those words, they trace the sky, oh my
They′re the same ones that you saw as a child sometime before
And if you look a little more, they're all still there

But all the people in this town, they're telling stories upside down
They′re crazy, oh, they′re crazy
But don't mind if they do, ′cause the pretty
Things, they write themselves like you, like you
All those pretty things, they write themselves like you
And they move so softly


I can see a lady in your eyes, so wise
But although she's miles away, she would still have words to say
Like don′t regret a single day that's passed you by
And can you see the brightest stars above? That′s love
So it's okay to say goodbye, even though you wanna cry
'Cause it hits you in the eye, don′t it girl?

But all the people in this town, they′re telling stories upside down
They're lazy, oh, they′re lazy
But don't mind if they do, ′cause the pretty
Things, they write themselves like you, like you
All those pretty things, they write themselves like you
And they move so softly

Like a tale of old Jamaica bursting out in song
Can you hear that drunken sailor? Oh, oh, oh
'Cause all those pretty things will find ya
Gentle winds blow on behind ya

And all the people in this town, now
They′re smiling at this tale they found
So maybe they won't mind if you do, 'cause the
Pretty things are written all for you, yeah, you
All those pretty things are written all for you
And in the end, all those pretty things come true
And they move so softly
