The Pearl

[Verse 1]

The Pearl lives deep underwater

Beckoning you like a mother

People will crowd and gather

Watching you dive down to find her

You tried to build a boat out of solid gold

But it wouldn't float

And I am in my rickety vessel

Trying to live a life after

[Chorus]

My heart is aching

Slowly sinking

Watch it as it goes

I can't admit that this is it

And I cannot go where you go

[Verse 2]

I never got to take you to my hometown

Where we could relax and just make sounds

And we'd create the universe on our computers

Hurry, get the idea down!

Before it slips away like life itself

Am I in a spell?

No, I am in my rickety vessel

Trying to float on life after

[Chorus]

My heart is aching

Slowly sinking

Watch it as it goes

I can't admit that this is it

And I cannot go where you go

[Outro]

But I know
