Perfection
John Cale
You were hopefully looking for perfection
And all the days were spent
Harnessing potential and all we could see
Were the remnants of dreams
Floating in and out of sight
Old tales of midnight rides
And mornings in the garden
Fallen objects on the wall
Standing in total silence
Getting the picture, making it simple
We had the answers all along
It wasn't obvious, it wasn't clear
Left in the corner with our souvenirs
Making the most of conversation
The landscape during rain
It wasn't obvious, it wasn't clear
In the corner with our souvenirs
Getting the picture, making it simple
We had the answers all along
It wasn't obvious, it wasn't clear
Left in the corner with our souvenirs
