Allan Taylor - Pearls and Wine lyrics

We travelled along this road together

To live the day and dream the night.

We made our promises forever

Our star was always burning bright.

As subtle beauty favours loving

I was yours and you were mine.

Each to the other freely giving

Treasured gifts of pearls and wine.

When misfortune crossed our journey

The winds of change blew cold and strong.

We turned our backs against the fury ...

This was our time, this was our song!

There may be jewels that sparkle brighter

And necktar from the God's divine.

But none so pure, no love so greater ...

Treasured gifts of pearls and wine.

As the sun fades in the distance

And makes its journey in tonight,

Sparkling crystal lies in shadows,

Our star is always burning bright.

And though the cloud may hide its beauty,

It cannot stay, it has no time.

Each to the other pace their duty,

Treasured gifts of pearls and wine.

Each to the other pace their duty ...

Treasured gifts of pearls and wine.
