How Beautiful You Are - Live Bootleg - County Bowl Santa Barbara 7/87

You want to know why I hate you
 Well I'll try and explain
 Remember that day in paris
 When we wandered through the rain
 And promised to each other
 That we'll always think the same
 And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
 And stopped just as the sun set
 And waited for the night
 Aside a gliterring building
 Of glittering glass and burning light
 ♪
 And in the road before us
 Stood a weary grayish man
 He held a child upon his back
 A small boy by the hand
 The three of them were dressed in rags
 And thinner than air
 And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
 The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
 The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!"
 The child's eyes eyes said nothing
 But a mute and utter joy
 And filled my heart with shame for us
 At the way we are
 ♪
 I turned to look at you
 To read my thoughts upon your face
 And gazed so deeply into your eyes
 So beautiful and strange
 Till you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
 "I hate these people staring
 Make them go away from here"
 The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
 The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
 The child's eyes eyes said nothing
 But a quiet and utter joy
 And filled my heart with sadness
 For the way we are
 ♪
 And this is why I hate you
 And how I understand
 That no one ever knows or loves another
 Or loves another
