Secret Messages

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring
She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
Well i never saw her face since then
And if the law don't get her then i will-
Four little diamonds

She must be somewhere on the open road
She always said she was a lonely one
She gets you down with her tales of woe
She took me for everything
And if the law don't get her then i will
Four little diamonds

Chorus: i looked around i climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone with the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But where could she run- she ran away
There's just no answer to give

I keep wonderin' about her, day and night
She probably thinks i was a fool- she's right
She don't know it
But i'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman
I'm gonna search everywhere
And if the law don't get her then i will
Four little diamonds

Chorus

I still hear her callin' out to me,
I still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find where she hides
'cause if the law don't get her then i will -
Four little diamonds

The stars that shine so brightly
They call to me
I dream of how it might be
Somewhere far away

Chorus: take me on and on
Until the world has gone
Take me on and on

The chains that hold you
Those chains will soon be gone
Sail upon the ocean
Sail back to me

Chorus

Take me on, on and on
I see it all below
I know which way to go
I see the afterglow

Chorus

Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(time after time)
From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but it's all around
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Chorus: time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere

(time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Chorus

The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel on the velvet sky
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Chorus

Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king

She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when i call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus: oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
She rolled over beethoven and she gave tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus

When she comes around and i'm listenin' to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cause all i wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here i'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

I saw her there from across the street, she was dressed in black
And when she moved she moved to a beat, like a cadillac
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

She was a woman of suspicious ways, never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed the days
And she'd creep out at night
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Chorus: train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out i was wrong
Now i wait for her in the night

Looked through a window saw a velvet sky, a shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet, like it was a dream
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out i was wrong
Now i wait for her in the night

Train of gold, train of gold
I don't believe her, it just couldn't be her
I can't get it out of my mind
