Lyrics
Pearl
When we met, it wasn't like an accident
I felt I'd known you all my life, you were a part of me
I saw it in your eyes Pearl
I saw it in your eyes
then we stopped and had espresso by the sea
the idle chatter underlined the one thing said
that the current was so strong Pearl
that the current was so strong
Pearl, you're locked inside a shell you can't break through
and I can't beleive the love you need is all inside of you
I can see you now within my mind reaching out to me
but when I reach out to touch you... you're not there
You slipped away. You never even left a clue
were you afraid that I would never let you go?
oh you were so wrong Pearl
yes you were so wrong
There comes a day that everyone must realize
to be a keeper of the flame we cannot keep it all inside
and there will come your day Pearl
yes there will come your day
Pearl, you're locked inside a shell you can't break through
and I can't beleive the love you need is all inside of you
I can see you now within my mind reachin out to me
but when I reach out to touch you
you're not there...
Pearl you just can't deny the truth
why should you lock your love inside of you?
