Jenny Pearl Lyrics

She stood by the lake
With diamonds that fell down her face
She reached for the page
And as it was carried away
On the shivering surface it bled
She wished it could be her instead
To be washed away like a stain
But she knew so she hid her shame

CHORUS:

Brave Jenny Pearl
She was too smart for a girl
She would've stayed for a curtain call but She was too good for this world

He said not a thing
She shook her head so heavy
Guess it was not meant to be
So she let it go on the sad seventeen
He suddenly rose to the task
Why are you crying? he asked
She blinked back a tear that would fall
Said, Sir, I'm not crying at all

CHORUS
