Lyrics

PEARL TWO

It’s not the same world
I woke up to yesterday.
She’s not the same girl
I woke up to yesterday.
Feel like Steinbeck’s pearl;
Feel like I’ve been thrown away.

She was my pearl of the world,
A bright gem beyond compare.
She was my pearl of the world,
Before darkness caught us there.

It’s not the same life
That I think I used to have.
She’s not the same wife
That I think I used to have.
Feels like Kino’s knife
Has just ripped my heart in half.

She was my pearl of the world,
A jewel beyond compare.
She was my pearl of the world,
Now, I can’t find her anywhere.

It’s not the same view
That I pictured from the past.
It’s not the same you
That I pictured from the past.
A shattered canoe -
A horrible rifle blast.

She was my pearl of the world,
Living in my oyster shell.
She was my pearl of the world -
Now, there’s nothing left to tell.
