Diamond Days

J. spinks


I'm so sad - feeling blue
Since you left - i've been missing you
Need your love - oh so bad
Realize - everything we had

(chorus)
All day - all night
You can have it anyway you want it
One love - so right
Don't you know that i live my life for you

I was wrong - my mistake
I regret - look at the price i paid
Take these words - understand
Try forgiving - i'm a broken man

(chorus)
I'm so sad - feeling blue
Since you left - i've been missing you
Take these words - understand
Try forgiving - i'm a broken man

(chorus)

For you - for you
You can have it anyway you want it
For you - for you
Doesn't matter if the sun don't shine

Open hearts
Open eyes
Open scars that are left upon
Open minds
Sacred words
Sacrificed
Storytellers exaggerate
Shallow lies

(chorus)
After the hurt has gone away
Oh' will we feel the pain
After the storm begins to turn
Oh' will we ever learn

Open doors
Open books
Tragic stories repeated still
Overlooked
Chase the wind
Catch a breath
Watch a child when it falls
Helplessness

(chorus)

It's never too late to say a prayer
It might be all we got to share
There's always a hope that someone's there

Don't confirm unless it's sure
Don't pretend to know a cure
Don't convince the world you're right
Don't deny you've never lied

(chorus)

A soul full of anger - but nothing to show
A world wrapped in cotton - but nowhere to go
Obsessed by a woman that you didn't know
Don't turn around - don't turn around

Torn between lovers - both mothers as well
A mind a prison - a heart in a cell
If only the screams could be heard from this hell
Don't turn around - don't turn around

You were surprised by a girl in the sky
Who changed everyone
And as your life became so mystified
There was a lonely heart - left by the side

Tomorrow could never be just one more day
Confused by an image - refusing to stay
The child in your mind always wanted its way
Don't turn around - don't turn around

Then on a day in your life
Still remembered by everyone
There was a man with a gun at his side
You and your monkey had nowhere to hide

He was the man that was sent from the rye
Don't turn around - don't turn around

So many things on his mind
I'm not sure if he knew
Why he blew you away
I can't decide if it's true
What he thought on that day

Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when i turn out the lights
Call out my name and i'd hold you so tight
Don't turn around - don't turn around

Yellowman - dealing in a back street
Sinnerman - he's telling you it's never enough
Nobody there - inside the mind he wasted

(chorus)
In a city where it's all gone wrong
Too many people and they don't belong
Suffocating on the air they breathe
Selling their souls for the magic seed

Pretty girl - standing in a doorway
At a price - offering a bed for the night
Nobody cares - a sign of the life she's wasted

(chorus)

So afraid - nowhere else to go now
Far far away - there's a place
That you once called home - but

(chorus)

Yellowman - you can't buy me
Sinnerman - pretty girl
Selling their souls for the magic seed

The raintown boys are leaving today
Heading on out to the shoreline
The greytown boys are tired of this place
They're not coming back anymore

They're gonna find a new life in the city
Don't wanna live in black and white
'cos nothing's gonna change the talkin's over
Too many wasted years gone by

The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure

The sadtown girls are crying inside
Thoughts are out there in the darkness
They'd given their hearts to the boys in the past
Now it's so lonely without them

It's late at night but downtown in the city
They walk the streets - the lights turn red
A broken voice in their imagination
They can't believe the things she said

I can give you more than anyone can
Perfect strangers living in a new land

The raintown boys are so far away
Been living it up on the shore
No doubt in their minds they're gonna stay
There's nothing left to go home for

They've found a better life inside this city
Their fears are gone - their fortunes changed
Just like they were made for one another
The boy's won't ever be the same

The raintown boys ain't coming back to town no more
They've had enough of living in the past for sure

No more - no more - no more
No more - no more - no more
