Perfect Lover - Hayes Carll
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
