Michael Franks - String Of Pearls (with lyrics)

Michael Franks - Dragonfly Summer (Reprise, 1993) 8. String Of Pearls (for P.Y.) All our lives Searching for the secret of joy Confusion leads us astray Love arrives At the very moment we cry For someone to be our heart&home Instead of blue monochrome Suddenly, the Rainbow Hits us from a different angle Suddenly, our hearts know Love&the thread on which we dangle Shining like a string of pearls All our hearts held together Like a string of pearls In the sky We see a profusion of stars We marvel how brightly they burn With what precision they turn We wonder why Every blossom turns toward the sun Deprived of light we would grow weak Love is the answer we seek - - - Produced and arranged by Yellowjackets Keyboards: Russel Ferrante Bass: Jimmy Haslip Drums: William Kennedy Tenor & Soprano Saxophones: Bob Mintzer Guitar: Steve Khan Trumpet & Flugelhorn: Marvin Stamm Background Vocals: John Hall, Lance & Larry Hoppen Recorded by James Farber and Thomas mark at Bearsville Studios Mixed by Dan Garcia at Bearsville Studios
