Lyrics Wishbone Ash

Wishbone Ash

Mother of Pearl

Underworld, the queen of pearls

Catches the light that's in your eyes.

She has desires, and has to get higher,

Trying to love the whole world.

Mother of pearl

She's a charity girl,

Giving herself away

To some body and soul.

Paradise if you pay the price

Inlaid with love she satisfies.

She has to pray alone everyday,

Lying in wait for the whole wide world.

Mother of pearl

She's a charity girl,

Giving herself away

To some body and soul.

Black see-through

Dressed to kill and cast her spell,

Sequins of fire for her love's desire,

She's drifting away from her open shell.

Mother of pearl

She's a charity girl,

Giving herself away

To some body and soul.
