[Lyric] Nina (Janis Ian)

[Verse 1]
Nina, I can see your face
Caught up in the song’s embrace
Alphabets of lightning falling from your lips
Raining on your fingertips

[Verse 2]
Any kind of fool could see
You were always meant to be
Miracles in moonlight worshipped from afar
Burning like a falling star

[Chorus]
And how were you to know this world
Was so damned hard on beauty?
Frightened by your lightning song
Nina, can’t you see?
You were always beautiful to me

[Bridge]
Crazy as a loon, in your own cartoon
What a world those eyes must see
When you hit the mark, you stopped my heart
Then you’d turn around and grind it
Right into the ground, I’d find it
[Verse 3]
Cradled in the arms of song
Right where miracles belong
Melody and madness, sanctity and sadness
A heart at war—nothing morе

[Chorus]
But how were you to know this world
Was so damned hard on bеauty?
Frightened by your lightning song
Nina can’t you see?
You were always beautiful to me
