Lean down your head on a pillow,
Remember as the day arose
Back to this day so long ago…
Why don’t you, well did you,
Keep a mem’ of those lonely days?
Did my letters, then, lift your thinking?
Sinless Pearl,
Where have you gone?
Nasty world,
What has it done to you?
Give me a sign,
Help me and find
That sinless pearl again…
Childish love, when every move
Was so controlled; every action obeyed
To some instinct we still ignored…
Before each of us has lost control
Each in his way, we’ve made our own roads
Stepped on this life-long path of gold…
Musical…
Quite innocently, quite
Gloriously there it remains, unraveled,
Undisturbed by the threatening reality…
Quite exquisitely, quite
Magnificently it outlives each of those
Harmful challenges of true love…
Sinless Pearl,
Where have you gone?
Nasty world,
What has it done to you?
Give me a sign,
Help me and find
That sinless pearl again…
