lyrics

DIAMOND RAIN

When the light from my eyes is gone, will you know me, will you know me?
And our hearts start to beat as one, will you show me, will you show me?
How to stare all those daggers down, getting closer, getting closer
Til our love hardly makes a sound
Will you own me, will you own me?

A feather of time from the arrows wing
Falls to the ground with a steady swing
Scratching new lines with your broken arms
Burst through the clouds with a bomber’s charms

I feel the beat of the diamond rain
Cutting through my heart again
Making it’s way into my soul
What you want from me I don’t know
I feel the beat of the diamond rain
Cutting through my heart again
Making it’s way into my soul
What you want from me I don’t know

If the pull from the crowd’s too strong, will you hold me, will you hold me?
And the world crashes round a song; will you show me, can you show me?
That I’m not just another one, like the others, there’s been others
And their voices go on and on, talking to me, walking through me

If the fight’s going on too long, and there’s no bell there to save me
And my hearts beating time all wrong, hold me close and break it gently
Devastate and I’ll come back strong, let me loose I’ll find my way now
And I’ll ricochet on and on,
do you own me, do you own me?
