The Pearl

I've been lookin for someone Who sells truth by the pound Then I saw the dealer and his friend arrive But their gifts looked grim Now I'm tired of hanging on Waitin' for a showdown Don't you see I gotta ride 'em out 'Cause the pearls' just 'round the bend Beautiful pearl, when will you reappear? Mysteries unfurl, become so clear When I see you near I found a way outside myself To make my spirit climb And I coulda shinnied on up But my rope was made of wind I appreciate the words But I won't be there at showtime Don't you see I gotta ride 'em out 'Cause the pearls' just 'round the bend Beautiful pearl, when will you reappear? Mysteries unfurl, become so clear When I see you near When my backyard weeds grew high I hoped that they would hide me But I felt that the pearl was near 'Cause I thought I saw it shine I was lookin' all around When I felt it there inside me And I see a possibility That its been there all the time
