Beautiful Girl
Fitzsimmons William Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unfurl your gown
A distant fuller skin
I knew you once

My God the sun
The windows bear your bones
Reveal your crime
Beautiful girl
Let the sunrise come again
Beautiful girl

Your sailor eyes
The water in the well
A thirst to fill

Let down your arms
The purging of this dark
The fall to free

Beautiful girl
Let the sunrise come again
Beautiful girl




May the weight of world resign
You will get better

How is it possible that this song makes me care so much about every one of the people in the comments. Their losses, Their loves, Their strengths, Their sadness. It’s like some sort of intersection, and regardless of what brought us all here, I care very much just because we all are. It’s like Magick and we need so much more of this in the world right now.

Heard it 4 years ago with my girlfriend in college. Brings back so many memories. And wherever you are.. I hope you are happy my beautiful lil girl!

Sheila Donovan

This song proves that music reaches something primal, instinctual and intrinsic in us...I cannot listen to this song without being brought to the brink of tears simply because of the beauty of it.

Charlotte Oakley

I know it isn't totally fitting with the song but I am 16 and played this for my mums funeral on guitar and sung. She was 49 when she died of a rare case of cancer. I just thought the song was lovely. Just love it <3

Martin Palmer

I listened to this song over and over for an hour. It gave me the strength to finally leave my fiancée. I deserve someone better than she will ever be

Andrew Keen

Ahh damn man.. I'm still hurting after breaking up with my GF recently and as much as I feel I wasn't perfect whatsoever, I tried damn hard for a long time and after a certain point I just felt broken and hurt all the time, she just started treating me terribly. I wanted to leave her for a while but couldn't, she'd call and then I'd go back, guess I loved her too much and that's why it hurt me so bad when things got bad and we split. I'm hoping I can have a better experience than that in future my god, but I want this pain to go away, we had planned our life together before she went from amazing to abusive just like that. I admire your courage and I hope things have worked out for the better my friend.
