Pearls (Live at Sugarshack Sessions)

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
