Graham Cromwell - You're Perfect When You're Born Lyrics

You're perfect when you're born
You're perfect when you're born
You're lighter than the smallest burden
Smaller than the least desire
Sweeter than the sweetest sin

You're perfect when you're born
You're perfect when you're born
And then the world comes rolling at you
As the tide and time roll in
Glowing like the world on fire
That's when you learn it ain't the hurt
It's memory that leaves you frail and torn

'Cos you were perfect when you were born

You're perfect when you're born
You're perfect when you're born
You're softer than the sweetest liar
More delicate than dearest truth
Simpler than a world that's ending

You're perfect when you're born
You're perfect when you're born
Suppler than a will that's bending
Graceless as the end of youth
You never fail you only tire
When you learn it ain't the truth
It's knowledge that will leave you frail and torn

You're perfect when you're born
You're perfect when you're born

You're Venus in the waves
Adonis at the pool
The only one who wasn't fooled
You bedded down with wolves
You missed your only cue
You treated her with scorn
You said it wasn't you
You never gave her due
You left her pale and torn
The hurt in her was you
You left her pale and torn
You did it all to you
You left her pale and torn

And you were perfect when you're born
You were perfect when you're born
