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, oh 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, oh 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 it's been there all the time...
