Persistent fantasy

"Persistent fantasy" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Witness. It is a love song about finding the most perfect man (it is one of few LorD and Master songs which acknowledges the gender of the subject, making it overtly gay) who is deemed to be "one in a billion" and matches closely the singer's concept of the fantasy partner. The lyrics are autobiographical and the song is about Peter Nugent.

Lyrics

I've got a persistent fantasy of you
The sky is grey but your eyes are mellow blue
You want it all and I want to give it to
My love

You bring the night and I want to spend the day
I look at you and I know we'll find a way
To make it easy to find the words to say
My love

You're 
One in a billion and you're
All I can see
You're
The only man to match my
Persistent fantasy

I've got a persistent fantasy right here
You're far away but my love can draw you near
And cause the distance and time to disappear
My love

I've gotta get it all out because I feel
We are the only ones to make it real
We dive right in and there's nothing to conceal
My love

I am so lucky that you're
Right here with me
You're
The only man to match my 
Persistent fantasy
