Pearls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ripples in the water taste like wine
Tell me one more time that I'll be fine
Tell me one more about the girl
The one who got away with your mother's pearls
I wanna know her face, I wanna know her name
Does she look like me and does she play my game?
I wanna feel her?, I wanna put her down
I wanna say that I wanna steal her crown
Sit out on the back porch, [?]
Here's a penny for your thoughts and a [?]
On the river of the shores of your country, she's all yours
She's all yours
She took your family jewels and she skipped town
Just tell me where to look and I'll track her down
I wanna wear that strand around my throat
I wanna read all the words I wrote
Before I burn them all and set you free
Tell me one more time what I will find
I'm the only one who ever really rocked your world
Sit out on the back porch, [?]
Here's a penny for your thoughts and a missile I've got
On the river of the shores of your country
She's got a silver lining [?]
She's the lucky one, let's open her eye
Save the pearl for me, I'll turn her into jewelry
For the better of the daughter of the man I love
She's all yours
She's all yours
Everywhere I want to go (can't get there)
You're never where I want to go (can't get there)
Everywhere I want to go (can't get there)
You're never where I want to go
Everywhere I want to go (can't get there)
You're never where I want to go (can't get there)
Everywhere I want to go (can't get there)
You're never where I want to go
