I could be the perfect lover if you let me
|
I could be the only thing you've ever known
|
I could scream out all your lonely heart's desires
|
I could hold all your life's pain inside my own
|
|
I could bring the clouds for you to walk among them
|
I could raise the seas for them to know your grace
|
I could teach the Gods of all your Autumn's glory
|
I could bring the Summer stars to know your face
|
|
But if I come again and only as a friend
|
Would you still know the way my heart is pourin' out
|
Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud
|
To ever be lonely again
|
I been locked up here with all these lonesome questions
|
I need a new word just to whisper in your ear
|
Baby right now I am open to suggestions
|
I'm gonna tell you all the things you need to hear
|
|
There's a mirror in my room with no reflection
|
There's a table where your friends have gathered 'round
|
There's a doorway that my heart could never walkthrough
|
There's a graveyard full of times I let you down
|
|
But if I come again and only as a friend
|
Would you still know the way my heart is pourin' out
|
Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud
|
To ever be lonely again
|

Perfect Lover
