Текст песни Nina - Janis Ian

Nina, I can see your face
Caught up in the song's embrace
Alphabets of lightning falling from your lips
Raining on your fingertips

Any kind of fool could see
You were always meant to be
Miracles and moonlight worshiped from afar
Burning like a falling star

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

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

Cradled in the arms of song
Right where miracles belong
Melody and madness
Sanctity and sadness
A heart at war
Nothing more

But 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
