Hayes Carll - Perfect Lover lyrics

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
