I think Barleycorn is quite close to what I think Perfection should be, so I tried to fill the blanks in what you suggested, there's still parts I'm not sure or I can't understand.

BARLEYCORN (LET IT COME / LET IT BE)

Forget me not – those eyes of blue

Was it real ? I never had a clue

Quite pristine

So many sights unseen

Defenceless dumb and grim?

I didn't know what I was looking for

But she knew What I'd never known before

She seemed so settled and so confident

And I was lured by that scent

Yet I was ready when she looked at me

Let it come, let it be

Moonlit pale like barley fields

Teenage pulse – deranged strange dreams

Oh I felt born anew

That nerve tattoo

She freed me and I flew

Without a mask and lost in greedy lips

And I knew she was innocent

She told me that she dreamed just like I did

When we ran from that cliff

the head was open and smiled down at me

Let it come, let it be

The deepest sense of wonder

The greatest mystery

Illusions ripped asunder

The greatest victory

(solo)

Starry night

Moon shine bright

Barleycorn

Moves to ______

Starry night

Moon shine bright

______

In the barleycorn

Yes I was ready when she looked that way

I was going there anyway

To an eternal ______

She just read off the lips

The head was up and smiled down on me

Let it come, let it be
