Lyrics for Black Diamonds

So much comin' 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
