Stranded Pearl Songtext
von Giant Sand

There′s a power in that division
In the hour of revision
YYu revisit the dank and the dour,
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

There amongst the willows and the briars
On the streets between the man made spires
In the triangulation 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

When I look into your eyes I surrender
Such surrender is rendered justified
You stand with a boot upon my Fender
Gingham hiked high
Reflecting on my
Glass eye

I lost me my eye in a battle
Went there to rattle their cage
And I lost sight of the big picture
Now this permanent fixture is your (my) rage

You′re looking just so fine
Reflecting on my
Glass eye
