The Pearl

[Verse 1]
I've been looking 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, waiting for a showdown
Don't you see I gotta ride 'em out
'Cause the pearl's just around the bend

[Chorus]
Beautiful pearl, oh when will you reappear?
Mysteries unfurl and become so clear
When I feel you near

[Verse 2]
I found a way outside myself to make my spirit climb
And I could have shimmied 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 them out
'Cause the pearl's just around the bend

[Chorus]
Beautiful pearl, oh when will you reappear?
Mysteries unfurl and become so clear
When I feel you near

[Verse 3]
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 looking all around when I felt it there inside me
And I see a possibility that its been there all the time
