| (Winwood/Capaldi) | |
| I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen | |
| And she could drink more wine than | |
| I'd ever seen | |
| She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet | |
| And when the time was right she said that | |
| I would meet | |
| My destiny | |
| I traveled round the world to find the sun | |
| I couldn't stop myself from having fun | |
| And then one day | |
| I met an Indian girl | |
| And she made me forget this troubled world | |
| We're living in | |
| I had a strange dream. | |
| In my hair | |
| I saw a pearly queen lying there | |
| And all around her feet flowers bloomed | |
| But they were made of silk and sequins two by two ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
