Lyrics

Have you seen your mother girl
Has she gone away
Gone away and found the pearl
But the price she paid

Gone / When you wake in the morning
Gone / When you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone / Pretty Penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her

How far will you go I say
Just to bait a mouse
Shorter lived and longer gone
Can you figure out

Gone / When you wake in the morning
Gone / When you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone / Pretty Penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her

Have you lost your sister girl
She's all but blown away
Blown away and lost the pearl
And the price she paid

Gone / When you wake in the morning
Gone / When you find that there's no one sleeping
Gone / Pretty Penny was her name
She was loved and we all will miss her
