Tears of Pearls Songtext

von Savage Garden

And we stare each other down
Like victims in the grind
Probing all the weaknesses
And hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.

Is love really the tragedy the way you
Might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like
Stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we
Keep locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls,
So different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls

Well I could be a tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like
Stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
We keep locked away from all
The world

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will leanr
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you

All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like
Stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep
Locked away from all the world
