Lyrics

[Refrain] Yeah, you've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine [Verse 1] I said, time heals And time forgets Your pots, pans, your garbage And all of your photographs Have been thrown out into the street And I stood back in shock 'Cause now your shit, it just looked so lost Without you I broke a window, busted your steering lock And I cleared out of town Without you [Verse 2] I said that time heals And time forgets But time arrived at motel ceiling fans That just hang there above your empty head After the rent is paid, and your heart's gone dead Your friends have gone, you have a hunted face Outside the heaving fields are draped as heavy as lead Where the dead wood aches for reprieve from a fate That seems so fleeting at a distance 'til that distance is tamed I tell you, time does not heal And it don't forget, no [Chorus] It just drowns you when you're thirsty and you're lame It's when you kneel to drink the water and the water is flame It is flame [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I said, time heals And time forgets It's doing fine without you Your radiator still overheats And now your starter motor just refuses to turn I tell you, nothing's really changed But I am not the same And, Lord, you take up all my time Yeah, you take up all my time [Refrain] Yeah, you've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine Yeah, you've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine You've gone from perfect to divine [Bridge] I never understood, although you tried You tried to explain while you were alive What had turned the face I'd loved Into a stranger's I'm staring up into a perfect night Everything is so wrong, but the time is right And for the first time now, I'm looking right at you [Chorus] I am here now, and it does not have a name It's where you kneel to drink the water and the water is flame Yeah, it is flame Flame [Instrumental Outro]
