Lyrics

The Diamond


In the morning so golden
Shining through the surface layer
Where the halos grow older
And dance across the sand down here

As the moments surrounding
Crystallise a point in time
Surf away on the boundary
Against the pull to look behind

Hey. You were mine for a time
You were mine.

In the diamond surrender
Cut the glass to see the shards
Come together – a symbol
Pre-designed to fall apart

And the wind from a feather
Put the ripples in reverse
Like a vision of heaven
Falling back towards the earth

Hey. You were mine for a time.
Hey. You were mine for a time.
You were mine for a time.

Time is spreading thin
My fortune closing in
I felt the splinters when the shadow burst
And the shards disperse
I’ll find the words
To redesign the world you’re living on
So when time is done
You’ll know had someone
When the light escapes
When the diamond breaks
And we separate
