Perfect Lover

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
