Judee Sill - The Pearl lyrics

I've been lookin for someone Who sells truth by the pound The I saw the dealer and his friend Arrive, but their gifts looked grim. Now I'm tired of hanging on, Waitin' for a showdown Don't y'see I gotta ride 'em out Cuz the pearls' just around the bend Beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear? Mysterious unfurl and become so clear, When I feel you near... I found a way outside myself To make my spirit climb, And I culda shinnied on up But my rope was made of wind I appreciate the words, But I won't be there at showtime Don't y'see I gotta ride them out Cuz the pearl's just around the bend Beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear? Mysterious unfurl and become so clear, When I feel you near... When my backyard weeds grew high, I hoped that they would hide me, But I felt that the pearl was near Cuz I thought I saw it shine, I was lookin' all around When I felt it there inside me And I see a possibility That its been there all the time...
