The Pearl lives deep underwater
Beckoning you like a mother
People will crowd and gather
Watching you dive down to find her
You tried to build a boat out of solid gold
But it wouldn't float
And I am in my rickety vessel
Trying to live a life after

My heart is aching
Slowly sinking
Watch it as it goes
I can't admit that this is it
And I cannot go where you go

I never got to take you to my hometown
Where we could relax and just make sounds
And we'd create the universe on our computers
Hurry, get the idea down
Before it slips away like life itself
Am I in a spell?
No, I am in my rickety vessel
Trying to float on life after

My heart is aching
Slowly sinking
Watch it as it goes
I can't admit that this is it
And I cannot go where you go

But I know
