Perfect Life (Single Version)

Perfect Life - Steven Wilson

When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months

She arrived one February morning pale and shellshocked

From past lives I could not imagine

She was 3 years older than me

But in no time we became friends

We'd listen to her mix tapes

Dead Can Dance Felt This Mortal Coil

She introduced me to her favourite books

Gave me clothes and my first cigarette

Sometimes we would head down to Blackbirds moor

To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight

She said the water has no memory

For a few months everything about our lives was perfect

It was only us we were inseparable

But gradually she passed

Into another distant part of my memory

Until I could no longer

Remember her face her voice even her name

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got

We have got the perfect life

We have got

We have got

We have got the perfect life
