Each night, I wish to God he'd let her rest.
Oh, this hurts me more than any man can bear.
She's my angel from the west.
There will never be one to take her place.

When you go, I will know.
Follow you to the stars.
And when the world burns apart,
There will be a place for your car.

I'd give you everything,
If only I'd have known you'd take it.
But you don't, 'cause you're you.
That's why I'll always love you.
My pearl of the stars.

Oh, the pills she takes, the pain of which she drowns.
A baby sleeps next door, she's new in town.
I'll tell her how wonderful you were.
I'll remember everything you were to me.

When you go, I will know.
Follow you to the stars.
And when the world burns apart,
There will be a place for your car.

I'd give you everything,
If only I'd have known you'd take it.
But you don't, 'cause you're you.
That's why I'll always love you.
My pearl of the stars.

When you go, I will know.
Follow you to the stars.
And when the world burns apart,
There will be a place for your car.

I'd give you everything,
If only I'd have known you'd take it.
But you don't, 'cause you're you.
That's why I'll always love you.
