Beautiful When She’s Winning

She sits back and swirls her wine
And looks for legs against the light
They run then disappear
And she loses one more tear

She hates to admit it's too late for it
The sorrys and the whys
She laughs at the sign by her bed
That says "Here love lies"

Certain songs remind her when
She had half a mind to feel whole again
And she feels crazy with a glass half full
And a bottle that’s empty

Chorus:
She’s beautiful when she’s winning
She's at home in the sun
But under clouds and raindowns
She is undone

She’s remembering the solace of a desert scene and around
The salted hills and a thousand shades of brown, warm wind blew
Her cares away and if she could she would have stayed but the sun
Was on borrowed time and slipped beneath an amber sky   

Chorus

Certain songs remind her when
She had half a mind to feel whole again
