Ainjel Emme - Jenny Pearl lyrics

She stood by the lake With diamonds that fell down her face She reached for the page And as it was carried away On the shivering surface it bled She wished it could be her instead To be washed away like a stain But she knew so she hid her shame CHORUS: Brave Jenny Pearl She was too smart for a girl She would've stayed for a curtain call but She was too good for this world He said not a thing She shook her head so heavy Guess it was not meant to be So she let it go on the sad seventeen He suddenly rose to the task Why are you crying? he asked She blinked back a tear that would fall Said, Sir, I'm not crying at all CHORUS
