Pearl - The Folk Implosion

Pearl, listen to me now

I’m about to bring it down

Here are things I need to tell you

That can’t wait

I’ve been doubting in my sleep

There are secrets I keep

Maybe in the end I’ll find a way to stay

Pearl, it don’t feel that way today

It wasn’t long ago, I was down upon my knees

Begging you to change your mind again

You were tired of trying to love me

You had put yourself above me

Tried to leave but, Pearl, I don’t let go

That is until tonight, now I know

There’s a world outside our window

There’s the mystery of desire

I could wait to make you happen

I could set this house on fire

Listen, now

I’m about to bring it down

Are we meant to be, I’ll ask again

As I wait for your reply

Hear the traffic passing by

Tomorrow I’ll be far away from here

Pearl, I’ll be far away from here

Through the world outside my window

Though you’re all that I desire

I couldn’t make you happen

So I set this house on fire
