Pearly Golden

Can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting
Stuck between the earth and sky
Memory is slowly fading
Like a river running dry
Is this dream a joke or a vision in the smoke

Can you smell it in the air I can feel it in my blood
Taste the ozone tangled fear it comes roaring like the flood
Is this vision something true light and color we’ll break through tonight

Everything is pearly golden
Soft and bright and light and flowing
I do not see what I’m meant to be
I’m more concerned with where I’m going now.

And so my words they fly away
And then we watch them all fall flat
I do not care for what you say
And you don’t even imagine that

In this vision something real and how we feel tonight

Everything is pearly golden
Soft and bright and light and flowing
I do not see what I’m meant to be
I’m more concerned with where I’m going now.

The door is open just a crack
A shining sliver in the night
I turn away and don’t look back
Until I gain a second sight
Is this vision something true light and color we’ll break through tonight

Everything is pearly golden
Soft and bright and light and flowing
I do not see what I’m meant to be
I’m more concerned with where I’m going now.
