Hue and Cry
Austere and Beautiful
Austere and beautiful
Nothing to spare
She's the ice that melts me
Her moving and random hair
Austere and beautiful
All her dreams achieved
She tailors everything
Not by what she wants, only what she needs
Yeah, yeah

And I've been looking too far, too wide
When class and grace are right before my eyes
And I've been searching too high and low
For what I know is what I'll never need
'Cause every single face I see
Just brings me back to where I wanna be

Austere and beautiful
Glass and steel and sky
When I look upon you
I see myself flicker and die
Austere and beautiful
Statues laugh and cry
They lay their hands on you
And suddenly, they bring you back to life
Yeah, yeah
And I've been looking too far, too wide
When class and grace are right before my eyes
And I've been searching too high and low
For what I know, what I'll never need
'Cause every single face I see
Bring me back to where I wanna be

Austere and beautiful
Nothing to spare
She's the ice that melts me
Her moving and random hair
Austere and beautiful
All her dreams achieved
She tailors everything
Not by what she wants, only what she needs
Yeah, yeah

And I've been looking too far, too wide
When class and grace right before my eyes
Yeah, yeah
And I've been searching too high and low
For what I know is what I'll never need
'Cause every single face I see
Is gonna bring me back to where I wanna be
Oh, austere and beautiful
Oh, austere and beautiful
Oh, austere and beautiful
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
She be the ice that melts me
Her moving and random hair
She be the ice that melts me
Her moving and random hair
Austere and beautiful, yeah
Austere and beautiful

Austere and beautiful
Austere and beautiful
