Lyrics
Perfect Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In a garden, in a kitchen
On an earth beyond adventure
On an island in the sea
As a message from the future
As a man who held the answers
As another man comes crashing as me
Inside eyes
I see the blackness of a dead space
A man could float forever and never find this place
Lie down my perfect child
This is but a dream
From a time when sorrow was set free
From a land of doubt and misery
From a suburb listed locally
When the sun was blotted out the sky
When the wind will refuse to die
There was only you and I
Inside eyes
I see the blackness of dead space
A man could float forever and never find this place
Lie down my perfect child
This is just a dream
