string of pearls - deborah conway lyrics

[verse 1]
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 sh-ll
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
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

[bridge]
waiting for gurus or gypsies or gods
under these burning clouds
searching for comfort above

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 4]
i got a life
i guess it suits me pretty well
i gotta crawl down narrow allleyways to heaven
or stroll boulevards to h-ll
bead by bead of wisdom and poetry
all the blind paths and avenues
dimly lit by my rosary

[chorus]
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
