RUFUS WAINWRIGHT LYRICS - Beauty Mark

"Beauty Mark"



I never had it

I never wanted it

I never had your beauty mark

Nor did I have your black hair

And hazel eyes

My early childhood was not as simple

As yours set in the country

No I did not have a fear of nuns who dressed in black

But I do have your taste

I had no radio show

Nor did I have home-made clothes

Home-made curtains of the same material



I never had it

I never wanted it

I never had your beauty mark



But I do have your taste

And I do have your round face and long hands

I think Callas sang a lovely "norma"

You prefer Robeson in "Deep River"

I may not be so manly

But still I know you love me

Even if I don't have your beauty mark
