Текст песни My Brightest Diamond - i had a pearl

I Had a Pearl LyricsMany strange things did I behold
I had the favor of a queen and watched it turn to stone
I’ve kissed the lips of princes, fools and dreams
I walked a tightrope through the moonlight to the seven seas
I’ve seen silver headed Valentine
I carried up the swan king's gold and gave them thimble wine
I saw the old man time glisten before the end
I went down disappearing holes never seen again

I had a pearl and I lost it
I knew the bliss of the dawn and it faded
I saw her face turn away
And now I know that there is nothing so hard
I can’t get over it
There's nothing so hard I can't get over it
On 1102 I sailed a red hot balloon
To the snow capped mountains of Timorataloo
And when the owl stole my air for his last tune
I floated up to Pluto on a beam of the moon

I had a pearl and I lost it
I knew the bliss of the dawn and it faded
I saw her face turn away
And now I know that there is nothing so high
I can’t get over it
There is nothing so high I can't get over it
