Lyrics Pearl - New Jordal Swingers

And her voice was pain
Left out cold in the rain
Crying out for comfort and embrace

And her skin was white
And her voice was black
And her beauty hidden by her lowdown ways

The singer was a girl
An artist of the world
Followers around just knew her as Pearl

And Pearl's shinin' on
Long after she's gone
Long after pressure left her
And brought her back to her own

There was a story to tell
Of a bitter-sweet hell
And she told it well she lived it too

The rise and fall was fast
It wasn't meant to last
She was burnin' out to great reviews
