Jewel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen words of sorrow Side by side were strung Way out across the alley Where a long, broken strand of pearls was flung Between her teeth she held a note From a choked and broken chord As the last sad song was finally sung And she stole away With the breath that flowed across her velvet tongue [Verse 2] A shining strand of pearls Washed up on the shore Far out on the ocean Waves pound against her kitchen door A deal has been struck The tables have been turned A chair is kickеd aside across the floor The futurе and the past Long-lost lovers when they met Are never to be parted anymore [Chorus] Jewels of the midnight sky Ten thousand diamond tears she cried A grain of sand carried on the tide Lay buried deep within her sigh Jewels of the ocean wide Now in darkness to abide Everything has slipped through her hands A shining pearl from a grain of sand [Verse 3] We close our eyes And see how the angels fly Just below ill-fated knots Their trembling hands have tied What you are taking What you are leaving A world of sorrow A world of grieving A careful thief to leave no trace The crashing waves beneath your feet could not erase [Chorus] Jewels of the midnight sky Ten thousand diamond tears she cried A grain of sand carried on the tide Lay buried deep within her sigh Jewels of the ocean wide Now in darkness to abide Everything has slipped through her hands A shining pearl from a grain of sand Everything has slipped through her hands A shining pearl from a grain of sand
