Lyrics

Pearly Diving Sea

We stood on the bridge
and we gazed upon life
as the foam flickered ribbon
Flashed memories back from the old world

But you stood your ground
With your heart on your sleeve
And your beggars delight
And your belly alive with that soft pearl

And “stay ’til the dawn”
You cried to me
“or leave by the light of this
blood moon.
I’ll keep thy precious birthstone
‘til ever we should part.”

We stand in the water
And pan for our gold
And we sift through the mud
That will softly deny us our fortune

And you look at me
With a smile of defeat
And you offer your hand
And I take it to mean we must leave soon

And “stay ’til the dawn”
I cry to you
“and sing for the pearl that’s lost
in the sea.”
And “walk to the edge of the world with me
To the pearly diving sea”
And “walk to the edge of the world with me
To the pearly diving sea”
