In your art, your beauty


photo by Suisea

Through the yard of blonde girls
Through the river and the sea
Gold sharks glittering
A tree of white
Breaks the earth
The streets where Lola played

Its in your heart
Its in your art, your beauty
Even in this world of lies
Theres purity

- from Yard of Blonde Girls by Jeff Buckley

Dear reader, is this the most beautiful Jeff Buckley song? I think this is one of the very few for which he did not write the lyric. My favourite composition. Certainly not one of the famous ones, this one is on Sketches for my Sweetheart, the Drunk.
