Pearl from Pearl by Gaucho

"Pearl"

I drifted away with you
Deep into the ocean blue.
Your tide came and swept me out
It rocked and rolled me round
Until our shop went sinking down.
And now the memory of riding on the sea
With your love giving me light
Leaves me drifting out upon the waters
Singing to that pearl moon up in the night.

Oh you were my pearl
A treasure of the sea.
You opened my eyes to see a world inside
Of beauty unknown to me.
Oh how I lament all the time
I wasted life with pride.
A treasure lost to me,
Pearl of the sea.

Yes, you are a pearl
A treasure of the sea.
My eyes open wide to see a world outside
Of magic brighter than dreams.
How precious is life that in time
We cast fears all aside.
A treasure you shall be,
Pearl of the sea.
Treasure you are to me
Pearl of the sea.
