Текст песни Perfect Life - Steven Wilson

When I was 13, I had a sister for six months
She arrived one February morning
Pale and shellshocked
From past lives I could not imagine
She was three years older than me
But in no time, we became friends

We'd listen to her mixtapes
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" (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)
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

We have got (we have got)
We have got the perfect life
We have got (we have got)
We have got the perfect life
