Lonely in the red blazing sun
Waiting for the moonlight to come
Kneeling in the sand all undone
Lovely fool, I can see you crying
All your tears are Mine
Pearls from pebbles form
Take your time, oyster in the sand
Let the seed be sown
It will rise
Lift your eyes and watch the tide's parade
Slowly souls are polished to white
Slowly darkness gives way to light
Slowly patience harvests the night
Sunburnt saint, take My benediction
Bless the sea again
Pearls from pebbles form
Take your time, oyster in the sand
Let the seed be sown
It will rise
Lift your eyes and watch the tide's parade
