| A long time ago
|
| When my mother’s hands were all my world
|
| She taught me everything there was to know about
|
| Holding and being held
|
| Like a grain of sand in an oyster shell
|
| The seed of knowledge grows
|
| The small thing becomes a pearl
|
| At the tender age
|
| When everything is unfamiliar
|
| I can remember all the rough-play princess
|
| And the wild crusader
|
| Never too shy for a mission of discovery
|
| I learned about the well
|
| Of my curiosity
|
| Some wear their heart on their sleeve
|
| Some wear the patience of saints
|
| Some wear the weight of the world on their shoulders
|
| I just wear my string of pearls
|
| My string of pearls
|
| The first time that I really fell in love
|
| I gave half my heart away and taking care of half of his
|
| A proof we were old enough
|
| All of those teenage radio songs
|
| About romance that lasts for ever
|
| Well, I found out they’d got it wrong
|
| Some wear their heart on their sleeve
|
| Some wear the patience of saints
|
| Some wear the weight of the world on their shoulders
|
| I just wear my string of pearls
|
| My string of pearls
|
| Waiting for gurus or gypsies or gods
|
| Under these burning clouds
|
| Searching for comfort above
|
| When I joined a band to be a rock and roll star
|
| I tasted how sweet it was to be the girl that everybody wanted
|
| Playing a little bar
|
| Spotlights shine on me
|
| 'Cause when the party’s over
|
| You’re just a waste of electricity
|
| And
|
| Some wear their heart on their sleeve
|
| Some wear the patience of saints
|
| Some wear the weight of the world on their shoulders
|
| I just wear my string of pearls
|
| My string of pearls
|
| I got a life
|
| I guess it suits me pretty well
|
| I gotta crawl down narrow allleyways to Heaven
|
| Or stroll boulevards to Hell
|
| Bead by bead of wisdom and poetry
|
| All the blind paths and avenues
|
| Dimly lit by my rosary
|
| And
|
| Some wear their heart on their sleeve
|
| Some wear the patience of saints
|
| Some wear the weight of the world on their shoulders, oh
|
| Oh
|
| Some wear a crown of thorns
|
| Some wear out their welcome
|
| But somewhere over the rainbow
|
| I will wear my string of pearls
|
| My string of pearls
|
| My string of pearls
|
| I will wear my string of pearls |
