"Perfect World" lyrics

"Perfect World"

And back to the city
Where I once belonged
Footsteps faded
All traces gone
Floating then
I saw you there
A vision of light
A tower of song

Listen up sunflower
Listen up sweet
I put it on the line
It's pouring out of me
Somebody somewhere's dreaming of this
Can you feel it in my hand
Can you hear it in my whisper

You took my hand and there we merged
My face
Your face
Then a whisper heard
Birthed from silence
Although I stirred
You calmed me
With a gentle word

Sing it to the flower
Sing it to the bee
Pour honey in your mind
So you remember me
I wanna tell you secrets that everybody keeps

Listen up sunflower
Listen up sweet
I put it on the line
It's pouring out of me
Somebody somewhere's dreaming of this
Floating in a bed
In a house
In a street

Ooh

And as I unfurl
I am the earth's fire
Deafening to hear
And in a perfect world
You are my desire
Can I draw you near

And every night I lay in my listless state
Poised
Docile
Ever awake
Will we meet in the place of sightless sight
Will you come again to me tonight

Seven ways a door is named
Seven shapes a door can take
This heart is dressed in fire
With love and hate and time and fate
With love and hate and time and fate
With love and hate and time and fate

Ooh

And as I unfurl
I am the earth's fire
Deafening to hear
And in a perfect world
You are my desire
Can I draw you near

Listen up sunflower
Listen up sweet
I put it on the line
It's pouring out of me
Somebody somewhere's dreaming of this
Can you feel it in my hand
Can you hear it in my whisper
