Tommy lived in a picture

That hung upon the wall

But something wasn't right

He felt he'd seen a light

In the beauty of the day

Tommy cried for the ladies

Who talked among themselves

He knows there must be more

But something's closed the door

On the beauty of the day

Tommy sat in the kitchen

Staring at the walls

He's sure he's coming near

But inside there's a fear

Of the beauty of the day

Cuz it's taking Tommy away

To mountain slopes

And rushing streams

Where you often place your dreams

In the beauty of the day

Tommy laughs at the people

Who stare him in the face

He knows they can't see through

And ask him, who are you?

But the beauty of the day

Is taking Tommy away
