pearls

lyrics

CHORUS
look at the lady in her pearls.
never lost the looks she had from when she was a girl.
the lightness in her eyes. the velvet of her skin.
it’s only letting go when you’ve forgotten to begin.
look at the lady in her pearls.

looking at the times when she was young. a girl with all the means.
every moment framed in silver, the days, her eyes, her dreams
a lifetime spent collecting, many friends with all their charms
still she feels her children and her lovers in her arms.

(C)

her wrists were small and gentle, as her hand reached for her hair.
brushing back the pieces that were no longer there.
still i think she sees that lineless face in the mirror.
time has watched her chase away the memories of fears.

(C)

she watched her friends fade. even had her loved ones slip away.
such a gentle smile, even standing at their grave,
but never did she falter, or let her stature curve.
she held her love for-ever, never losing it to tears.

(C)

look at the lady in her pearls...

Love to tell stories, let the movie play in your head. Wrote my first song driving in the middle of the night. No light to write by, so I had to sing the poem that was in my head to try to remember it. By the time i got home, I had my first song.
