Heather Nova - Pearl [Lyrics]

Pearl

The Wounds We Bled

We don't decide what we do
We take the splinters, drive them through
We took the road all painted blue
We needed to

I'm finding pieces under rugs
Forgotten words, candy hearts
Wound so tightly that they stopped
They needed to

All the things I wish I'd known
The willow weeps where the seeds are thrown
All the things I wish I'd said
I'm better for the wounds we bled

Got no control but we do
And all the shimmer, let it through
I held it back, somehow I knew
I needed to

All the things I wish I'd known
The willow weeps where the seeds are thrown
All the things I wish I'd said
I'm better for the wounds we bled

Did it all for worse or better
Now I got my shit together
Was it worth it, it's whatever
I wanna think about it

All the things I wish I'd known
The willow weeps where the seeds are thrown
All the things I wish I'd said
I'm better for the wounds we bled
I'm better for the wounds we bled
I'm better for the wounds we bled

All The Rivers

It's a fire
It's the way it grows when you feed it
It's a fire
Love the way you love me and the way I need it

I can feel it moving on the astral plane
All the rivers rushing down the valley again
Oh my love

Ships were passing
In the night so dark that you could hardly see
Stolen kisses
Nothing ever reached me 'til you got to me

I can feel it moving on the astral plane
All the rivers rushing down the valley again
Oh my love

I just want time to stand still
I want time to bring you closer to me
I want time to lock with mine
I want time with you

It's the beauty
It's the way you capture it frame by frame
It's the beauty
It's the way we manifest the every day dream

I can feel it moving on the astral plane
All the rivers rushing down the valley again
Moving on the astral plane
All the rivers, all the rivers, all the rivers
Oh my love

Rewild Me

I'm over the hate
And I'm over the gate
And I'm gone
Like a fox in the meadow
No one on my trail
I'm gone

Rewild my heart, let me be
The sum of my parts, me

Cause I'm over the blame
And I'm over the shame
And I'm gone
Like a fox in the meadow
Bright flash in the shadows
I'm gone

Rewild my heart, let me find
My animal part, the divine

And I want to feel wonder
And I want to lie under the big trees
And I want to sink into the blue sea
Rewild me

In the sweetness of nature
I'm free from the failures
I'm gone
No slave to the longing
I'm one with belonging
I'm gone
Gone
Gone
Gone

Some Things Just Come Undone

I took my beautiful son down to the ocean
Some things just come undone I said
It's all swirling round in me like I'm an ocean
Some things just come undone I said

I took my beautiful boy down to the ocean
Sometimes a change will come I said
His cheeks all rosy red and full of elation
Sometimes a change will come I said

I'm going to make everything ok

I took my beautiful child down to the ocean
Look up up at the sky I said
His eyes reflecting light, all full of emotion
I'm never gonna let you down, I said

I'm going to make everything ok

My child my beautiful son, I said
Some things just come undone I said
Look up up at the sky I said
Two homes are better than one, I said
My boy my beautiful son, I said
My boy my beautiful son
Should I cry or hide my emotion?
Should I cry or hide my emotion?
Which one is his salvation?

Oh my mothering side
Oh my mothering side
Oh my mothering side

I'm going to make everything ok

Some things just come undone
Two homes are better than one
Oh my beautiful son
Some things just come undone
Two homes are better than one
Oh my beautiful son
Some things just come undone
Some things just come undone
Some things just come undone yeah
Oh my beautiful son
Some things just come undone
Some things just come undone
Some things just come undone

After All This Time

When you find it, when you find the one
Recognise it's where your soul belongs
Put your hands out, nothing breaks your fall
Take a leap now you're gonna risk it all

Years of stillness, like a winter's frost
Never really knew how much I'd lost
Every cell now, coming back to life
Every breath now, in a different light

I don't want to shut my eyes
I'm open to the pain that might be coming
This is what I never thought I'd find
Real love, after all this time

When it finds you everything is clear
All the roads you took have brought you here
Looking up now to an endless sky
Tears are coming, and you don't know why

I don't want to shut my eyes
I'm open to the pain that might be coming
This is what I never thought I'd find
Real love, after all this time

I don't want to shut my eyes
I'm open to the joy that might be coming
This is what I never thought I'd find
Real love, after all this time

I don't want to shut my eyes
I'm open to the joy that might be coming
This is what I never thought I'd find
Real love, after all this time
Real love, after all this time

Over The Fields

I heard you slipped into the light we cannot see
Behind the veil and the songs
Reaching out to those who came to you in dreams

Over the fields you go
Over the wreckage in slow motion
Everything that you used to know
All the weight, all the weight, you can let go

And you remember making angels in the snow
A flash of who you could have been
Begin the journey that you started long ago

Over the fields you go
Over the wreckage in slow motion
Everything that you used to know
All the weight, all the weight, you can let go

And all apologies and all the damage done
Somehow you never found the key
It's coming to you now as you head into the sun

Over the fields you go
Over the wreckage in slow motion
Over the fields you go
Over the wreckage in slow motion
Everything that you used to know
All the weight, all the weight, you can let go
All the weight, all the weight, you can let go
All the weight, all the weight
All the weight, all the weight

Just Kids

Feels like we're just kids
No hands, freewheeling
Didn't know it could be like this
So good, so easy
Feels like there's no rules
Bright sun, doors open
No games I'm afraid to lose
Just love, unspoken

And I like the way you said
"I got no back up plan, it's only you"
And I like the way you have
No fear of what is true

Feels like we're on fire
Your words in my mouth again
Some ancient soul desire
Coming back again

And I like the way you said
"I wanna come close to you, to feel you breathe"
And I like the way it feels
Like my heart's a river that's found the sea

And all the years we missed
No matter now cause we're on track
And every time we kiss
All those years, gonna take them back

And I like the way you said
"I got no back up plan, it's only you"
And I like the way you have
No fear of what is true

Ooh...

Feels like we're just kids...

Don't Worry What The Experts Say

Don't love me because you need me
Don't want me because you're empty
Don't
Fill the places in your psyche
You should be ok without me
Don't
Listen to that crap

Cause I want what you want
And we don't have time to figure out
What everything is all about
If it feels good then it is good
And don't worry what the experts say
I'm gonna love you anyway

There'd be no stars without the dark
No firelight without a spark, yeah
The sea is lonely for the shore
Take it away I want it more, yeah
We're human every time

I want what you want
And we don't have time to figure out
What everything is all about
If it feels good then it is good
So don't worry what the experts say
I'm gonna love you anyway

There's a road that leads around
The sweetest part of you I've found
And though I know I might be wrong
I thought I heard it in a song sung
So many years ago

Cause I want what you want
And we don't have time to figure out
What everything is all about
So hold me and kiss me
And don't worry what the experts say
I'm gonna love you
If it feels good then it is good
And don't worry what the experts say
We'll blow those theories clean away

I'm going to love you anyway

See Yourself

Sister all the ways I adore you
Why can't you see yourself?
Why can't you see yourself?
Sister shine a light on your grace and beauty
Why can't you see yourself?
Why can't you?
You were just a child holding tight
In those ocean swells
Why can't you see yourself?

You think everybody else has got it made
But can't you see we're all in pieces

Cause when you're broken then you're open
When you're open then you're living
When you're living you are light
And it's alright, and it's alright, and it's alright

You got knocked down
Spinning out
Salt got in your mouth
Stung your eyes
I know it still matters
Still hurting, feel it inside

You think everybody else has got it made
But can't you see we're all in pieces

Cause when you're broken you are open
When you're open then you're living
When you're living you are light
And it's alright, and it's alright

Cause when you're broken you are open
When you're open then you're living
When you're living you are light
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Cause when you're broken you are open
When you're open then you're living
When you're light it's alright
It's alright, it's alright

Cause when you're broken you are light
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright (it's alright)
It's alright

Vincent

Vincent, yours is
The first name I've ever sung
Sometimes life is a movie
And it's only just begun
Waves are crashing
Through my veins I'm over come
Sometimes life is a movie
And it's just begun

And the stars will make us wild
And the dark will make us hesitate
But that's our fate
The stars will make us wild
It's not too late for us

I want to laugh
Sing autumn leaves and whistle grass with you
I want to lie
Under any kind of sky

And the stars will make us wild
And the dark will make us hesitate
But that's our fate
The stars will make us wild
It's not too late for us

Les vagues viennent s'écraser
Dans mes veines et je m'enivre
Vincent, je veux
Only to be with you

And the stars will make us wild
And the dark will make us hesitate
But that's our fate
The stars will make us wild
It's not too late for us
The stars will make us wild
It's not too late for us
It's not too late for us

Your Words

I keep every word you said
Wildflowers growing up around my bed
All those words blooming in my head

I don't need much only truth
Just the thoughts that come to you
You make poetry, no one reaches me like you do

And it's all, only syllables
But your words, they will make or break me

Sticks and stones
Bruise my bones
But your words will save me
Sticks and stones
Bruise my bones
But I need your words
I don't want to live without you
Don't want to live without you

Your words, your words, your words

I keep every word you said
String them all on invisible thread
All those little pearls
Shining round my neck
Blooming in my head
Shining round my neck
Blooming in my head
