Description
Another from the sessions with Marshall Rohner on guitar. This is a haunting lyric- angst and anxiety apparent throughout. I wrote the song in San Francisco when I was in a situation that offered no comfortable resolution or escape. Marshall's playing is brilliant...
Lyrics
PERFECT LOVER Icy evening thunder Sirens rip the night The spell that I am under Increases with the light Never mind the sorrow Tuck your tears away They won't be there tomorrow Here we now must stay It must be the lover It must be the perfect lover To satisfy that hunger It must be the lover Games that children live by Carry through my life Now I find I don't cry When sharpened is the knife Smoky rooms and sly men The place where evil grins Hunting down the big 10 Now the dance begins Chorus Is curiosity satisfied You don't look so wide eyed Is the memory lingering on Or has the feeling gone I hate when truth turns round When everything hits the ground Dark skies so filled with doubt When you wish that the fire'd go out There's no conclusion So much confusion No resolution tonight To learn I must surrender Soon I make the choice I tread on places tender Softly comes your voice Exhausted I fall under Back to where I'm sure Still the icy thunder Haunting is the lure chorus repeat c1982/2011KimAyrieMorris
