Come So Far for Beauty Lyrics - Jennifer Warnes

Come So Far for Beauty
(L. Cohen & J. Lissauer
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behin
My patience and my famil
My masterpiece unsigne
I thought I'd be rewarde
For such a lonely choic
And maybe he would answe
To such a hopeless voic
I practiced all my sainthoo
I gave to one and al
But the rumours of my virtu
They moved him not at al
I changed my style to silve
I changed my clothes to blac
And where I would surrende
Now I would attack
I stormed the old casin
For the money and for the fles
And I myself decide
What was rotten, what was fres
And men to do my biddin
And broken bones to teac
The value of my pardo
The shadow of my reac
But no, I could not touch hi
With such a heavy han
His star beyond my orde
His nakedness unmanne
I came so far for beaut
I left so much behin
My patience and my famil
My masterpiece unsigned
