Lyrics

There's no skin without blemish
And somewhere deep within it
Every diamond has some tiny flaw
The world's greatest wonders
Are either rusted or plundered
But they still come to see them
And pay at the door

When you come back it will be
More perfect than perfect can be
And the sun's gonna shine from the mountains
Right down to the sea
It will rain when it needs to
And no-one will ever feel bad
If nobody's perfect
Then how come I'm perfectly sad

I let my feelings for you
Soar like eagles through the mountains of truth
Rough and raw round the edges
Above the canyons and ridges
Beyond any shadows of doubt

When you come back to me
We'll be perfectly happy you see
The sun's gonna shine from the mountains
All the way to the sea
It will rain where it needs to
And no-one will ever feel bad
If nobody's perfect
Then how come I'm perfectly sad

So when you come back to me
We'll be perfectly happy you see
The sun's gonna shine from the mountains
All the way to the sea
It will rain where it needs to
And no-one will ever feel bad
If nobody's perfect
Then how come I'm perfectly sad
