Perfect Imperfection

(앨범: Down On The Farm - 1979)

There's a girl standing on a corner
Watching love walk right out her door
She thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw.

Now she's lonely, standing there for hours
Wishing he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wondering why the hurt when it used to be so fine.

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.

You know that there's no reason for you to be alone
Just cause love's treason, broke, broke your happy home
How can you celebrate when all you feel is suffering heartache?

Going down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretching out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet.

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.
