The Song that tells you where I live today...

Perfekt World
Clara Lofaro

If it were just you and me
The birds and flees
No big big house
Or limousine
Would you still follow me through town
Glad I’d be around

If I had no news for you
No fancy words
No high, high hopes
Or black and blue pearls
Would you still call me every day
Be sure that I’m ok

CH:
It’s not fair to say it’s easy to be who I am
And the world will make you crazy if you give it all you have
What don’t love you’ll make you stronger
Now I’m stronger than a brick
If you could listen to my heart
I’d give you it

If there were mouths to feed
A size fourteen
A piano room with dusty dreams
Would you still look at me that way
Before you went away

If I never married him
But loved his boy
Had our ups and downs
No perfect joy
Would you still hold your head up high
Conjure up some pride

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Where did we go wrong believing in this Perfect World
Where all our mothers and daughters were perfect girls
Where did we go wrong believing in this perfect life
Where all our fathers and brothers were always right

If I never climbed that mountain high in Spain
Looking down from the aliens' window pain
Would my fantasies still run
Leave the open world undone

If I never wrote the song that bought our freedom
By a long, long river close to home
Truth is I don’t know how to get there
I don’t know what it is

CHORUS
It’s not fair to say it’s easy to be who I am
Though the world has made me stronger,
It’s still stronger than I am
What don’t love you’ll make you crazy
Now I’ve fallen like a brick
If you could crawl under my heart
I’d give you it

If you could listen to my heart
I’d give you it.


Dearest listeners and viewers of my music and site (I hope if you are viewing it, you do take a moment to listen...this is just the girl behind the music)...

I welcome you with my upcoming album that began it's fruition when Black + Blue Pearl was just being pressed, to feel a glimpse of the world through my thoughtful, senseless, perhaps broken view; that is Im-perfe-k-tly Beautiful. We are creating it spit by spit over the next couple of months with droplets of whisky and tea to keep our hearts warm during the cold weather and over-heated office spaces.

The CD Release Party and concert is planned for March at Joe's Pub. More information as it comes from me to you.

In the meantime, keep your loved ones close during this holiday season, if not in body then in mind. I will be concentrating on just that as I pack up my old sweet car, and make my way across the border once again.

Much Love and Thanks for a beautiful year to all of you...and all the inspiration you brought me for my songs and life without even knowing it,

Clara Lofaro
