Tom Russell - Black Pearl lyrics

Have you seen Miranda? She's walking through the town She has got one green eye, the other eye is brown And as she walks the air grows warm, men stare down from rooms She destroys the hidden line between the wise man and the fool She's a black pearl, she's a black pearl, She's a black pearl... she's not my girl They say down in Tango town, the accordion is king Where Astor Piazzola plays on the Bandoneon And outside 'neath an olive tree the dust and sand it whirls She tangos with the moonlight, that dangerous Black Pearl She's a black pearl, she's a black pearl, She's a black pearl... she's not my girl Don't talk to me of politics, don't talk to me of war For I have seen her secret things upon the shower door I've seen presidents corrupted, I've seen kings down on their knees Heh, it wasn't revolution - lust was the disease For some Black Pearl...
