Emmylou Harris - The Pearl Lyrics

  • (Emmylou Harris)
  • O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
  • They're circling low and inside tonight
  • It's another round in the losing fight
  • Out along the great divide tonight
  • We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
  • Seeking out some half remembered shore
  • We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
  • Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for?
  • Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
  • We lift up our prayer against the odds
  • And fear the silence is the voice of God
  • And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
  • We cry Allelujah
  • Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
  • The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
  • Time is a brutal but a careless theif
  • Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
  • It is the heart that kills us in the end
  • Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
  • As it was now and ever shall be amen
  • And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
  • We cry Allelujah
  • So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
  • We are not sailors lost out on the sea
  • We were always headed toward eternity
  • Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee
  • Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
  • Down through the long loneliness of the world
  • Until we behold the pain become the pearl
  • Cryin Allelujah Allelujah
  • We cry Allelujah
  • And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
  • We cry Allelujah
