"The Pearl/Red Dirt Girl"

Written by Emmylou Harris

Performed by Emmylou Harris

Produced by Malcolm Burn

Label: Nonesuch



It is the heart that kills us in the end

Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend

As it was now and ever shall be amen

And we cry Allelujah Allelujah

We cry Allelujah

So there'll be no guiding light for you and me

We are not sailors lost out on the sea

We were always headed toward eternity

Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee

Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled

Down through the long loneliness of the world

Until we behold the pain become the pearl
