Michael Ward With Dogs and Fishes - The Pearl Gone By

Well I studied it hard and I studied it well
Over too many nights too many to tell
Tossing and turning and rolling my eyes
Counting my breath 'til it's memorized
Somebody standing at the end of my bed
Got something to say not sure what she said
Must be important or she wouldn't be here
Like an unopened letter addressed to my fear
It's the pearl gone by
I let it slip through my fingers
But when the well runs dry
The memory lingers of the pearl gone by
Shadow and light all swimming around
Like fish in a tank not making a sound
They nuzzle the glass they're drifting away
All of my hide away worries at play
It's the pearl gone by
I let it slip through my fingers
But when the pool runs dry
The memory lingers of the pearl gone by
I'm looking away I'm looking ahead
I'm looking to lose this light in my head
Into the night I remember the day
When the angel appeared, and I turned her away
Oh, Again and again and again and again
Again, and again and again and again
Again, and again and again and again
I know it'll stop but I don't know when
It's the pearl gone by
I let it slip through my fingers
But when the pool runs dry
The memory lingers of the pearl gone by
