Tanita Tikaram
This Perfect Friend

[Verse 1]
The Lord he gave
The Promised Land
But not the wisdom
To make it last

Who is the one?
Who lies with you?
Denies my sleeping
And the night belonging to

[Verse 2]
I feel ashamed of all I’ve become
I feel ashamed, for I am not the one
For lonely feelings will mess with you
A nightmare of lions they perish you

Who is the one
Beloved by all
Who steals the heart?
The fire through which I crawl

And who is she
To lie with you
To cry with you
To leave without a sound
[Verse 3]
Your dishevelled hair
Thе warmth of the sun
But I feel like a stranger
I sharе of no-one
For lonely people will mess with you
Lonely people can’t hide the harm they do

Who is the one?
This perfect friend?
Who is the one?
Of my imagining
