Shinin' Diamonds

There’s always that one

That you never seem to quit

Always on your mind

Your thoughts fill the time

To me she was that girl

To whom I compared the world

No diamonds anywhere

Could shine or compare

Or be cut from a mine

A sharp a mind as hers

A match made perfect

no other worth forever

 

All the love that feels so real

Wont take you anywhere

And if that roads only one way

And there’s nothing in the way

Which way will you go

The afternoon sun

So bright on my skin

But my eyes wont let me see

They’re drowning

And I put it all on the line

When I told her what was true

And she told me the truth was

I’ll never be with you

And I tried to search

For words to salvage what hurt

Two pillars that will never merge

Forever

All the love that feels so real

Wont take you anywhere

If that road’s only one way

And there’s nothing in the way

Of the other road which way

Will you go

Gearhart

Well you always caught my eye

Even with your hand in his

But I paid it no mind

Cuz I knew my rose would win

(when you) finally looked deep

in your eyes you look in mine

and that heat of your heartbeat

made your cheeks burn red as wine

(when you) planted that first kiss

missed with such purpose

so I grabbed your hips

and pulled you in

we made the whole world spin

 

I should have known

That love is grown

In the depths of your soul

It can make you whole

 

But if you hold on

To love that’s wrong

It’ll take you far from where you ought to go

 

Made wrongs

We made rights

And love and fights ruled the night

Day trips to such great heights

You were my queen

I was your knight

Love was made like no other

Matched Great Spirit and the mother

But we tested the limits of two

Not aware what we’d go through

Car wrecks and drunkenness

And one too many arrests

You said

We can make this work

We can fight off all this hurt

 

Chorus

 

And when you made us three

We were a family

I couldn’t see

Anywhere I’d rather be

but when the autumn came

the leaves began to change

your heart wasn’t the same

three days we drowned in pain

but we held the winter still

hiked those same old hills

thoughts of never ending

our story a fairytale

so I raced home from my trip

from deep in the forest

I had my outfit picked

Knew you’d have a lovely fit

But when I opened that door

And you had nothing my dear

Except eyes filled with tears

No need for more words

From here

 

So if you hold on

To love that’s wrong

It’ll take you far from where you ought to go

Lion's Den

She was crying crying and they both stood in place

Denial you could see it on her face

Heartbreak an empty term unless you yourself have felt its burn

What will you do when the candles through

Though you’re not ready the darkness comes to you

You will stumble trying to find that light

But you wont find it until you strike that match just right

So when your walls fall to the ground

Don’t forget that whats most importants found inside

and even though you can’t hide it

you can see

how many stars are shinin and

when you understand you don’t need those stones you can let them go

and go on your own

only stoppin’ when you find hands to build a new foundation

what do you do when everything that you see holds the whole weight of a memory

you will try to let them go

but they’ll just weigh you down so in your own place you can’t get free

when she left that room the walls echoed the atmosphere

no joy no love just emptiness sorrow and fear

if the sun left the sky would the moon come around again

or would it crash down falling from the heavens

So when your walls fall to the ground

don’t forget what’s most important's found inside

and even though you can’t hide it

you can see how many stars are shinin' and

when you understand you don’t need those stones you can let them go

and go on your own

only stopping when you find hands to build a new foundation

don’t you stop until you find new hands to build a new foundation oh

So when your walls fall to the ground don’t forget that whats most important's found inside and even though you can’t hide it you can see how many stars are shinin

never goodbye

 

Goodbye to my former self

Hello to my new found wealth

You were there all along

You were deep in my bones

With you I would like to grow old and

Never will I forget

You my dear old friend

But you led me to

A deep dark place where

Never again would I like to stay

 

When my anchor was ripped away

When my roots tore from where they stayed

I had to look inside

Forced to define

what love meant to me

And when my universe

was swept away

Turned upside down

where the edges were fray

 

I found love makes us

Destroys and creates

Within us divine energy

 

So, Goodbye to my former self and

Hello to my new found wealth

You were there all along

You were deep in my bones

With you I would like to grow old

Never will I forget

You my dear old friend

But you led me to

A deep dark place where

Never again would I like to stay

 

Well I should say

Make no mistake

These bones they will surely shake

But with the strength

Of my heart and soul

I know they will not be thrown

And with the strength

Of my heart and soul

I know they will not be thrown

And with the heart of my heart and soul

I know they will not be thrown

No they will not be thrown

 

So, Goodbye to my former self and

Hello to my new found wealth

You were there all along

You were deep in my bones

With you I would like to grow old

Never will I forget

You my dear old friend

But you led me to

A deep dark place where

Never again would I like to stay

I can’t take this anymore

It’s over got my two feet

Out that door

I heard that

There’s so many ways

To live

So why do I keep choosing to live

This way

Oo’s

Wont you jump off that train

And leave that state of mind

It will lead you so blind

It will leave you so blind

It will leave you over there

And me over here so

Wont you wont you go

And jump off that train oh

Oo’s

I walked outside today

It was a little cold

A little chilly

But I made due with my two hands

In my pockets and

walked right through

That cold and the rain

And the pain in my leg

But I know that once I get to where I’m going

I will know the true cost of living

Oo’s

Whistling

don't bury me in no boulder

 

Why you looking at me like that

I’m not some person just to stare at

And maybe if you get to know me you could see that

We could be friends not enemies

But if you’re not interested

 in that

 well maybe then we wont be good together you were right

I was wrong and that is that

And we should get on our own way

Even if that means different highways

We’ll reach the same place

 it’s great and waitin waitin

And sayin our names everyday and we’ll walk bye bye but we’ll never know why

they will come to take us when we die

And others will cry

Oh

And others will cry

And others will go

 

It’s a journey that I’m on

And though you say you’re with me you look like you’re on

a vacation

so I’ll pack my bags

because I’m moving along

See that is the thing

you’ve packed so much baggage

that it is weighin you

down down down and no matter what I say or do

it’s a fight its another night

of bullshit from you goddamn so sick of taking the hard road all the time

 

So I will go

Oh

I will go

Yes I will go

And theres nothing you could say or do
