Lyrics

See the rivers filled with rain
I wish it could be blue again
Hazy petrol nights
Crimson sun on traffic lights

A perfect day, a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden
Till it's light

Streets get full up every night
With people buzzing round the lights
And waving at the taxis driving by

Now tomorrow's here today
And yesterday's todays just fade away

Watch the morning chase the night
Rolling home, it's getting light
Feeling sleepy, full of wine
Fall in bed, just in time

The perfect stare of perfect eyes
That kiss you as they tell you lies
And wonder, where you going; where've you been?

In towers high with time to fill
Garden's in the windowsill
In between the pavement and the sky

Tell me why
All the words will never come out right
I'm fumbling blind
I've been driving through the danger signs

A perfect day, a perfect night
You tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 
Till it's light
Perfect silence, me and you
It's really me and I really do
Remember every moment magnified
