Pearl

Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz, 2008

 

So you've added up the figures.

And counted all the costs.

But a shade of memory lingers

As the dew becomes the frost.

 

A love of no undoing

Has caught you in its web.

Would you like to keep on crashing

Or brave the waves instead?

 

You're a pearl

I'll meet you by the ocean

You're a pearl

I'll be standing by the sea

You're a pearl

I will meet you by the ocean

You're a pearl.

Meet me in D.C.

 

It's time to make some choices

Pick your heart up from the floor.

Put the sordid past behind you

Chase those ghosts back from your door.

 

You're a pearl

I'll meet you by the ocean

You're a pearl

I'll be standing by the sea

You're a pearl

I will meet you by the ocean

You're a pearl.

Meet me in D.C.
