Stranded Pearl - Giant Sand

There’s a power in that division

In the hour of revision

Your visited the dank and the dower

When the taste of love has all but gone sour

When I look into your eyes I surrender

Such surrender is rendered justified

You stand with a boot upon my fender

Reflecting on my glass eye

Out amongst the willows and the briars

On the streets between the man made spires

In the tangulation of too many wires

Love’s translation still transpires

Every girl is like a pearl

Hearts strung along and then left stranded

This world is worn, all frayed and torn

Men in uniform is not what love had demanded

I lost me my eye in a battle

Was sent to rattle their cage

Lost sight of the big picture

Now this permanent fixture is my rage

When I look into your eyes I surrender

Such surrender is rendered justified

You stand with a boot upon my fender

Gingham hiked high, looking so fine

Reflecting on my glass eye
