black diamonds

so much coming in

i do not know where to begin

i just follow the lead you're pulling

and i get lost in your trail

so much more to tell

you just ask me if i'm doing well

but i do not know what the hell

i just swallow hard

in your eyes

black diamonds

i could die

black diamonds

in your eyes

black diamonds

i could die

black diamonds

and i wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

terrified of what your love's revealing

so much you can see

should i let you make a woman of me?

should i let you take the mystery from me?

see the inside of my room at night?

sometimes you will find

things i do not know how to leave behind

i've been grappling with my mind

i've been stuck inside a jail

in your eyes

black diamonds

i could die

black diamonds

in your eyes

black diamonds

i could die

black diamonds

and i wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

terrified of what your love's revealing

the cold of winter warms my blood and he's hot

like a bed of steel

he finds his peace of mind

in the rivers and the whip-poor-wills

i could follow close behind

and slowly disappear

but i can never leave him

i can never leave him

i can never leave him

i can never leave him

i can never leave him

i can never leave him

in his eyes

black diamonds

i could die

and i wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

so much more to do

come on

let me make a man outta you

i could gather you and you tell the truth

you could cry inside my arms

you could cry inside my arms like a child

you could cry

you could cry
