AMY RAY - Oyster and Pearl lyrics

rate me

I’m just a southern gar no spar left to be had

Drifting on a current in the rain in a river bed

I been so long in this world

What I got left is all I need now.

They feel you in the till until the till runs dry

There’s a waterdance going on and I wanna be there tonight

I want to Skip to My Lou to the dub step sound

Country kids gather round.

Chorus:

You want me to be the oyster that has the pearl

Oyster and pearl, oyster and pearl

But there ain’t nothing like that in this girl

Baby all I need is a creek at dusk and dawn

In them muddy waters is where I want to be

found

Oh won’t you build a fire with the sappy pine

Burn this vessel, scatter me around.

I wanna feel the rushes in my hair

I wanna see the Blackberries in the sun

I wanna hear the owl singing at night

I wanna know my Sweet Lord by and by.

I’m just a southern gar no spar left to be had

Drifting on a current in the rain in a river bed

Yeah I been so long in this world

All I got left is all I need now.

Chorus:

You want me to be the oyster that has the pearl

Oyster and pearl, oyster and pearl

But there ain’t nothing like that in this girl

Yeah there ain’t nothing like that in this girl
