Just another day of Diamonds He laughs then takes my hand And I can feel the wind in the way we’ve sinned Saying that we’ll both be grand He’s like the dew in the morning Light to the touch And I think that he knows That I love him so much As I avoid his stare But I’m still all there As he moves in close to my face And there’s something I can’t replace Like when we split the coin in Liverpool And we’re acting like two kids in school Laughing in all the wrong places And he kind of crinkles his face To let me know that he’s okay That silence is in what I can’t say And it’s been years But it’s also right now And he carries The lightning somehow In his pocket as he storms up a scene And I swore those days were like a fucking dream Young and wild and free as the air There was no cost that we didn’t spare As we paid with our hearts Did we know that we’d part Somewhere in the crystalline But there was a moment dazzling was mine In his effortless And the kind of mind you can’t second guess In his sincere And the way he was just so near As he smiles at me and holds my stare I know he loved me because I was there And tomorrow’s an avenue And they past’s a monument And I ran from the scene Coz I can’t give you what you want But do you think somewhere Among all the tears We could make up The wasted years And just hold hands And lie in bed You caught me with messy hair And my face went red But in the moment it’s okay Because in your eyes I’m whole, full of soul Nothing to aggrandize And you’re still there Somewhere, somehow Some kind of enchanted That I’ll allow As sparks fly In the rhythm section And I think you’ve got me down Til I pull an inflection But we’re so serene And if we’re in this together then you’re a dream In your fiery ways You’re the kind of home that simply stays Exactly where it’s always been If I cut the lights could I be your queen Coz you star my sky with little lights And we make up after all our fights As we just embrace I loved you once now I’m in space That you open for me And I never knew wings til they set me free And I’ve just got to express That those days in that dress Make me miss your beautiful warmth The kind of hearth that mocks the storm Would you be by my side If I said let truth abide And hold you close I let you in, now you’re making a toast As I video phone The moment so when I’m alone I can watch the replay Do you know I love you more, okay? And there have been pilgrimages To foreign lands But I’ll think of you In the slipping sands So much older now But something is as it was somehow Brimming full of angels that sing our song It’s been more than a decade since you belong And I meditate On what exactly it means to be in that state But I can’t repair The feeling of you not being there Til you speak aloud Are you for real, I thought you were too proud But you’re cutting the ribbon And Lord, I forgive him For never let me know in time Do you think you could just be mine?
That he might be under the same sky Thinking of me Makes the ocean of waves Roar with the sea And I’ve got fire And tenacity But there are forests of green I’ve yet to be And he’s cool as a breeze And warm as the air Coming up from the Azores Without a care And what do you think This planet would be If it wasn’t populated By humanity Could you walk without fear Roam without a care I only know pride Because he is there And I only know windows Coz I’ve looked so long Into the spaces Where he seems to be gone And all of the avenues All the winding paths Just seem to keep leading me The same way back To his doorstep At the edge of the woods I can say that I’m here This time for good And the wind it howls And pulls at my dress But there’s something right here I’ve got to confess That I love you always Unconditionally true And I’m only ever wishing The best for you But it seems times have changed And the world’s turned around And maybe you’re listening To my kind of sound As it plays on the radio Frequency waves And there’s something about A hero who saves Me from the lies With a single glance We’re in the car park But do you want to dance Would you take my hand Do I regret that tome Where I wandered wilderness All alone Only to find Your hand in mine You are for always Always for all time
There are some things you cannot deny
Like a love that will never die
Like honesty and what is right within
You cracked my exoskeleton
Thin into a little strands
That broke apart into your hands
And smiling as you realised
You held it all in the tears you cried
That could never be wrong or crossing the line
I think you and I will be just fine
As we make a bloodless, solemn pact
That we will always come back
To this place we share and each other
I love you, darling, my soul brother
As we’re held together by more than thread
You show your fragility instead
Of the angry exterior wall
Of strength and impressions fall
As I realise that you are him
I’ll never have to look again
You’re a star smash like an infinite career
And you’re never getting out once you come inside my sphere
And collisions override the softer sides of us
You put your faith in me and I can feel your trust
So don’t you look away when words are falling from your lips
The moon gets in the way when its a solar eclipse
And the night comes in the day with a silky overlight
I knew it when I met you that I was doing something right
So crash and feel the dirt as it rises from the earth
I thought that it was pain but then love doesn’t hurt
So feel me in your soul like I feel you in my heart
We are one universe and we can never be apart
If I could write you a poem what would I say
I love you forever like I love you today
And whatever water washes us down the line
I know in my heart we are for all time
You fill up my daydreams and I paint you unique
Releasing the things I’m longing to speak
You have a smile that crumples my soul
And a look in your eyes to show what you stole
We are so close though our bodies are far
We both share the moon and sit under a star
So when the wind rushes the hair off my face
I am wild horses and it’s you that I taste
But I come to you fragile and my head bowed low
Because you are more heaven than I know how to know
I look in your eyes and you see me right back
In know in this moment there’s nothing we lack
You are always home to me wherever we both go
And though we do not speak in words I know that you know
As sure as the stars blaze forth in galaxies afar
The dark interweaves our souls entwined to always what we are
And I know you have moved on and our lives are separate streams
But I meet you daily and nightly in my dreams
And everywhere’s an everglade with leaves all bursting forth
You taught me how to be myself and showed me what I’m worth
But I think in sidelines, somedays, I taught you too
Cause when you were on your own I was always there with you
In the brushing of the wind or the language that we speak
You are the destiny I didn’t know how to seek
But you found me and all in the open of the air
And in that moment looking through I saw you standing there
As you moved the earth with the weight of time and age
You are more than just a fantasy or wording on a page
And everyday’s an ocean and you’re not really gone
Cause you are inside my heart and have been for so long
So don’t cry bitter tears when you think of the past of us
We’ve always had a bond and that’s where I place my trust
You walk the lines of the infinite as though it is child’s play
You talk to me in tones so sweet and then you look away
And how do I try to be anything but nice
Cause I have lost you more than once and I did so without a fight
So tell me once again, once more, about how you’re better off
And is it you or me or both who finds out that we’re lost
And though I ache with past regret and years that are gone by
I didn’t work up the nerve to talk to you or even try
Why are we in this quandary with our destinies dancing the line
Before I hung up the phone, before you said it was fine
Is there an immortal that is concealed that we can hang onto at least
As I to in the west am fire ablaze while you sundance in the east
And we are both stone strong examples of how love can do you wrong
How unconditionally is wrought in iron that is strong
And will not let you go at all, though lessons may be learned
I can feel the breath of wind moved when your head is turned
