Oyster Lyrics by Rick Altizer

Surfonic Water Revival

1998

[Verse 1]
Lonely in the red, blazing sun
Waiting for the moonlight to come
Kneeling in the sand, all undone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lovely fool, I can see you crying
All your tears are mine

[Chorus]
Pearls from pebbles form
Take your time, oyster in the sand
Let the seed be sown
It will rise
Lift your eyes and watch the tide's parade

[Verse 2]
Slowly, souls are polished to white
Slowly, darkness gives way to light
Slowly, patience harvests the night

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sunburnt saint, take my benediction
Bless the sea again

[Chorus]
(Pearls from pebbles form)
Pearls from pebbles form
(Take your time, oyster)
Take your time, oyster in the sand
(Let the seed be sown)
Let the seed be sown
It will rise
Lift your eyes and watch the tide's parade
Parade
