Mother Of Pearl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The moon fell through the river's heart,
we [C]watched it [G]disappear.
We wished upon a northern star
and [A]prayed for better [D]years.
As the [G]starlight in his gray -green eyes
began [C]to dance and [Em]swerve
And the [C]colors changed with [G]every
glance like [D]mother -of [G]-pearl
Through those long
November evenings we
[C]kept each other warm
[G]Time rolled on so gently like
a [A]rosebud in a [D]storm
Making [G]love there in the lantern light
I [C]watched as wild eyes [Em]swirled
And [C]I was mesmeri[G]zed by
[D]Mother of
[G]Pearl
Mother of [C]pearl, father of [G]time, the smell of the [C]wood smoke,
[Am]the taste of the wine.[D]
Let me [G]tell you of enchantment as the
[C]northern lights did [Em]swerve,
And his [Am]gentle eyes shone
[Bm]softly [Em]like
[D]Mother of
[G]Pearl
I rode away against the wind,
I [C]cursed the wetter [G]rain
I prayed my trail would circle back
to that [A]northern town [D]again
For [G]I've not seen his measure
All [C]across this troubled [Em]world
And those [C]gray -green eyes
still [G]haunt me like
[D]Mother of
[G]Pearl
Mother of
[C]Pearl,
Father of
[G]Time
The smell of the [C]wood smoke
[Am]the taste of the w[D]ine.
Let me [G]tell you of enchantment,
as the [C]northern lights did
[Em]swerve, and his [Am]gentle eyes shone
[Bm]softly [Em]like [D]mother of [G]pearl.
His [Am]gentle eyes shone [Bm]softly [Em]like
[D]Mother of
[G]Pearl
you
