Perfect Day

There's a warm wind blowing off the sea

The sky is clear and blue

The desert glows in shades of gold

A postcard just for you

The general's on the radio

To say the war is won

But for 9 thousand people left behind

The battle's just begun

If this is a dream why won't you wake them

If you know the answer won't you say

Why are so many people cryin'

On this perfect day

A woman sits alone upon the ruins of her home

She has no-one left to love

No-one to call her own

If this is a dream why won't you wake them

If you know the answer won't you say

Why are so many people cryin'

On this perfect day

A young man finds a broken toy

He made for his small son

Its the only thing remaining of the life he knew and loved

Life this is a dream why won't you wake him

If you know the answer won't you say

Why are so many people crying

Oh so many people lying

Oh so many people dying

On this perfect day

Are you still crying perfect day

Are you still lying perfect day

Will you be dying perfect day

Are you still crying
