Music & Lyrics by Daisy O’Connor
She laughed in bars of music
Gentle tears raining down
And I caught her words in my colander
And strained them through the town
Her lips burned with the promise of song
And the secrets that she holds
Amber essence overcomes the night
And she will not be silenced I’m told
Crawl into my lamp and turn it on
Little diamond
In her twisted suitcase marked with charm
I thought I’d found a home
In my sleeping seed pod bones
Lies the desert beacon calls
Of a Las Vegas lipstick lonestar
The lovely Lustre Pearl
I’m in her graveyard with no graves
Guess I bought the plot too soon
And my heart is my own prophet
Preaching a major league quitter game
I saw in her black notebook
A list of names and mine crossed black
Can the pitcher steal the second base
If there’s nothing left intact
Crawl into my lamp and turn it on
Little diamond
In her twisted suitcase marked with charm
I thought I’d found a home
The desert beacon calls
To the sleeping seed pod bones
Of a Las Vegas lipstick lonestar
Named the lovely Lustre Pearl
Won’t you come on in and be my home?
She laughed in bars of music
