Lyrics for Death Is The Diamond
Blue dawn of night, go on I've been missin' you now with my whole life Does my voice echo forward? Alive, if only for a speck My actions, all that I possess And if need be, I will carry your death wish, hmm Back into the arms of this rare life My back to your back This has been no easy religion Written, braided, lived, and tried Let the sun go down I don't want to feel anything, but the moving ground Death is the diamond Watched you riding horses across the plains I guess sometimes It doesn't always happen when you're tryin' Oh, but when you're livin' it comes on out Sign on Caravan East reads, "For you, anything" I guess it's a story so much great械r than our own Alive, moving through dusk Alive, if only once You mak械 me feel like the prom queen that I never was Let the sun go down I don't want to feel anything but the moving ground Death is the diamond Watched you riding horses across the plains I guess sometimes It doesn't always happen when you're tryin' Oh, but when you're livin' it comes on out
