Pearls

Ripples in the water taste like wine
Tell me one more time that I'll be fine
Tell me one more time about the girl
The one who got away with your mother's pearls
I wanna know her face I wanna know her name
Does she look like me does she play my game
I wanna feel her up I wanna put her down
I wanna see her there I wanna steal her crown
Sit out on the back porch hear the birds' chorus
Share the adirondack with me
Here's a penny for your thoughts a mussel I got
On the shores of your country
She's all yours, she's all yours
She took your family jewels and she skipped town
Just tell me where to look and I'll track her down
I wanna wear that strand around my throat
I wanna read you all the words I wrote
One letter at a time just you and me
Before I burn them all and set you free
Tell me one more time that I'm the girl
The only one who ever really rocked your world
I sit out the back porch hear the bird's chorus
Share the adirondack with me
Here's a penny for your thoughts and a mussel I got
In a river on the shores of your country
She's got a silver line on her shell that's fine
She's the lucky one, let's open her up
Save the pearl for me I'll turn her into jewelry
For the daughter of the daughter of the man I love
She's all yours, she's all yours
Everywhere I wanna go (can't get there)
You're never where I wanna go (can't get there)
