Pearls

Well I hope

You're well insured

If my poor little heart

Becomes injured

And I hope

You can appreciate

When I say I'm coming early

I'm bound to be late

So don't

Change your rate

In the morning

Buildings swarming

Pearls are forming

In the seas

In the evening

Birds are leaving

In the seething

Canopy

In my time

With this name

I've been so many different men

Which one do you blame?

In my skin

With this face

I dreamt I was a dragonfly

Gone from this place

And I soared

Into the light

But I was unmade into a human

Just tonight

In the morning

Buildings swarming

Pearls are forming

In the seas

In the evening

Birds are leaving

In a seething

Canopy

You're so kind

You're so soft

And I could never see the strings

That hold you aloft

You're so vain

You're so obscure

And I wouldn't take any more of that

It might be pure

You're so in love

You're so outdoors

I wouldn't take any more of that

It isn't yours

In the morning

Buildings swarming

Pearls are forming

In the sea

In the evening

Birds are leaving

In a seething

Canopy
