American Zen - Mother's Pearl

Well I've been a boy and I've been a man
I've made mistakes that I hope won't happen again
I blame it on you
You blame it on me
It's sad to think what we had
Is a tragedy
Mother's pearl, mother's pearl
She waited for me as long as she could
But I couldn't buy her the things that I should
I dove down too deep
For the prettiest girl
Now God I'm stuck at the bottom
With mother's pearl
Mother's, mother's pearl
Mother's, mother's pearl
Mother's, mother's pearl
Mother's, mother's pearl
We made a wish but the golden ring broke
Cracked right in half the promise we spoke
I wouldn't have guessed
It would all end this way
She fell back into her shell
She couldn't hear me say
Come back Mother's pearl
Come back Mother's pearl
Come back Mother's pearl
I love you Mother's pearl
