One day there was a girl who cried tears of pearls
And her eyes were blue and green like none I've ever seen
And she met a man that night who filled her with delight
And he spoke in poetry and rhyme
And she loved him in no time
But he changed
And then soon he became jealous of her beauty and fame
And he locked her away and he forced her to play
Songs that were blue, songs that were grey
Yeah, yeah
