Savage Garden - Tears Of Pearls
from the album "Savage Garden"
from the "Tears Of Pearls" single
from the "I Want You" single
And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it
Oh we do it
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside
Make you cry
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotion we keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole their jewels away and love has left you bare
Make you cry
These tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death
The death of you
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
