Pearls

I can see you down the river
 Standing on the shoreline, dipping your toes
 And I know that you love this place
 But you know that you won't stay
 Got a ticket for a plane ride in the morn'
 ♪
 Won't call me anymore
 But I could never blame you
 For living your life on the other side of the world
 And I tried to save
 Your bracelet with the white pearls
 As if I could save you too
 ♪
 When our shadows converge and our opinions conflict
 I choke on my words, I hesitate
 When my ego gets curbed, it's been you at the reins
 Wearing boots and a sundress
 While you're guiding me back to Earth again
 But then, you won't call me anymore
 But I could never blame you
 For living your life on the other side of the world
 And I tried to save
 Your bracelet with the white pearls
 As if I could save you too
 ♪
 So let some light in the room, lay by my side
 Let me soak in your presence as you soak in mine
 'Cause you'll be gone again, ten thousand miles
 Ten thousand miles
