I could be the perfect lover if you let me   I could be the only thing you’ve ever known   I could scream out all your lonely heart’s desires   I could hold all your life’s pain inside my own      I could bring the clouds for you to walk among them   I could raise the seas for them to know your grace   I could teach the Gods of all your Autumn’s glory   I could bring the Summer stars to know your face      But if I come again and only as a friend   Would you still know the way my heart is pourin’ out   Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud   To ever be lonely again      I been locked up here with all these lonesome questions   I need a new word just to whisper in your ear   Baby right now I am open to suggestions   I’m gonna tell you all the things you need to hear      There’s a mirror in my room with no reflection   There’s a table where your friends have gathered ‘round   There’s a doorway that my heart could never walk through   There’s a graveyard full of times I let you down      But if I come again and only as a friend   Would you still know the way my heart is pourin’ out   Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud   To ever be lonely again
