Diamonds in the rain In the first dream you were a driver And I was a car, we didn't get real far We took a highway full of black top roadkill Could that be me? Could that be you? (Could that be me?) In the 2nd dream you were a rifle And I was a deer but with no shelter near You were camouflaged In pain I couldn't see through Could that be me? Could that be you? (Could that be me?) The slow striptease of time Releases now the seven veils And ages of sweet wanderlust Steals about a half step from my stride And hold me now accountable And throws a finger at my trust And barks like a big dog at my pride But shows me diamonds in the rain Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till I die Diamonds in the rain In this recurring dream You said you were lonely I said everyone's lonely And not just you Some people just hide their loneliness Behind the coats of others Could that be me? Could that be you? (Could that be me?) Please don't let that be me and you! Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till I die Diamonds in the rain

It's been said by a poet better Sealed with a smile and perfumed letter It's been said by the painter's colours more brightly It's been said but here it goes again, I love you It's been said but here it goes again, I love you It's been said that your eyes are amazing And that they tell a deeper secret Than your body wishes to hold And that your quiet tears will be heard as gentle whispers It's been said but here it goes again, I love you (repeat) It's been said by far too many drifters That perhaps your eyes had seen fall short the glory of It's been said from the soil of a prophet's graveyard It's been said by the light of your mirror's vanity It's been said but here it goes again, I love you (repeat) (Please believe me that I love you) Take this you beautiful distraction I love you
