I Had A PearlMany strange things did I beholdI 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 kings 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 On eleven o' two 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 |
