The Pearl Diver's Song

(A rather simple song that I composed a few months back - a metaphor for the phd )

Raindrops are falling at you
Rainclouds are coming at you
A stray wind is blowing
all the way to the shoreline

Oh (baby) baby I know
what it is to be sure
I've been listening to the silence around me

But too many days in a row
spent in the chase of a haven
I've been walking beside all the trappings
of following this little trail
and get a little disillusioned, for a fading resolution
when the nacre's glow is lost
in a beautiful world.

I've been blinded, I've been defeated
The sun shone a strong light
and the waves were unyielding

Oh maybe baby... I guess
I've been diving too deep
I've been missing all the signs on the surface

But I can remember a day
When the opaline waters were calm
I held a hope in my heart
The shell won't be empty this time

It was my calling all this while
I'm gonna catch the final mile
before I swim back up the shore to a beautiful world

where I can be
cool when the summer wind blows/
warm when the winter fire glows/
calm when the harmony breaks/
and sing a song
that's playing on a one-man band

(but for now
i'll  just catch
the last rays of the sun
before the light is gone,
and with it the opaline glow.....)
