judee sill - the pearl lyrics
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 y’see i gotta ride ’em out
cuz the pearl’s just around the bend
beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear?
mysteries unfurl and become so clear,
when i feel 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 y’see i gotta ride them out
cuz the pearl’s just around the bend
beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear?
mysteries unfurl and become so clear,
when i feel you near…
when my backyard weeds grew high,
i hoped that they would hide me,
but i felt that the pearl was near
cuz 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…
