Tekst:
Madeleine Peyroux Half The Perfect World

You got a lot of tenderness And so much love, you can get no rest If you?re willing To waste a little time I don?t want all of it All I need is a little

California rain is fallin' I can hear the summer callin' Far away, far away A song that's fadin' Put me on a plane tomorrow I'll try to run from all

He made me laugh, he made me cry He smoked his doggies in bed But I'm all right, I'm all right I've been lonely before I asked the boy for a few kind

It's comin' on Christmas They're cuttin' down trees They're puttin' up reindeer And singin' songs of joy and peace I wish, I had a river I could skate

one The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world

Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow

one The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love?s unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world

Well you gassed her up Behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard You're looking for the heart

There?s perfume burning in the air Bits of beauty everywhere Shrapnel flying, soldier hit the dirt She comes so close You feel her then She tells you
