Lyrics

I Had a Pearl

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.

Many strange things did I behold

I had the favor of a queen and watched it turn to stone

I've kissed the lips of princes, fools and dreams

I walked a tightrope through the moonlight to the seven seas

I've seen silver headed Valentine

I carried up the swan kings gold and gave them thimble wine

I saw the old man time glisten before the end

I went down disappearing holes never seen again

I had a pearl and I lost it

I knew the bliss of the dawn and it faded

I saw her face turn away

and now I know that there is nothing so hard

I can't get over it

On eleven o' two I sailed a red hot balloon

to the snow capped mountains of Timorataloo

And when the owl stole my air for his last tune

I floated up to Pluto on a beam of the moon

I had a pearl and I lost it

I knew the bliss of the dawn and it faded

I saw her face turn away

and now I know that there is nothing so high

I can't get over it
