Dave Crossland - Pearl lyrics

Tommy drowned his sorrow nightly Tommy drowned his happiness too Tommy drowned and drowned till his drowning drowned And now his drowning days are through His drowning days are through He says i'm going walking on the seashore barefoot I'm gonna get my pearl It's been waiting on the sea right there for me A gift from the whole wide world A gift from the whole wide world Mary left the hour of midnight When she left her father's house Now she's holding on to moonlight And she can turn the nightlight out She can turn the nightlight out She says i'm going walking on the seashore barefoot I'm gonna get my pearl It's been waiting on the sea right there for me A gift from the whole wide world A gift from the whole wide world Well i'll tell you a story someone told to me We can only be as happy as we want to be The road is open and the toll is free And you're the only one who knows the way So hey just say I'm gonna go Mister mooney made a k**ing collecting Mountains of gold on the stock exchange Till he opened his eyes and he didn't see why And he gave all the mountains away He gave all the mountains away He says i'm going walking on the seashore barefoot I'm gonna get my pearl It's been waiting on the sea right there for me A gift from the whole wide world A gift from the whole wide world
