It seems to me her skin was just
The colour of my hair
Her eyes would hold me closer than
I thought that I could bare
Black pearls are no good for you
At least they never were for me
They bring only sadness
They seem to thrive on sorrow
There is no bright tomorrow
Never have you own black pearl
Time had past and I had felt
She'd held me long enough
But when I told her she just smiled
And gently called my bluff
Black pearls are no good for you
At last they never were for me
They bring only sadness
They seem to thrive on sorrow
There is no bright tomorrow
Never have you own black pearl
The colour of my hair
Her eyes would hold me closer than
I thought that I could bare
Black pearls are no good for you
At least they never were for me
They bring only sadness
They seem to thrive on sorrow
There is no bright tomorrow
Never have you own black pearl
Time had past and I had felt
She'd held me long enough
But when I told her she just smiled
And gently called my bluff
Black pearls are no good for you
At last they never were for me
They bring only sadness
They seem to thrive on sorrow
There is no bright tomorrow
Never have you own black pearl
