lyrics

what makes you so gorgeous
like a man dripping in riches
whose riches inconstant in patience
not to be seen, not to be held, not to be gleaned

clean, clean, like a pressed shirt
and fresh, fresh, like a daisy
and they say girl, you'd best keep your head on
get it straight through your head
your heart is verboten
your heart is a token
a treasure to be won

and he comes in the night
like a ghost, tapping outside your door
and you open it, you open it to find
a gorgeous mind

what makes you so gorgeous
like a man who has built up a fortress
whose charms have led you to lead me
to a moat with a boat, but no oars
a coat with no arms
a sky with no stars

chorus

what makes you so gorgeous
is a face and a mind full of torment
and a smile so smooth you can hide it
i can see it in your eyes
can feel it in your sighs
and i want to hold you tight
i want to hold you tight

so come in the night
just like a ghost
tapping outside my door
and i'll open it, i'll open it to find
a gorgeous mind
