Diamond In The Dark Lyrics
Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back then back again
Outside the school gates we first met
In a basement near the park (diamonds in the dark)
We danced all night and then we kissed
Your smile like diamonds in the dark
It's a long way to fall
Where the words stray, no-one calls
We would have little children
We would be together forever (diamonds in the dark)
We would live on Delancey Street
Then you cut you hair and it ended there
It's a long way to fall
Where the words stray, no-one calls
Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back then back again
Now I've nothing left to lose
I'm clinging to a cliff face, staring at your shoes
And tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you feel the same?
Or are we just waking to a day we can't
A day we can't change?
And now there's this no-mans land
Between you and me (diamonds in the dark)
But I still wander in between the sheets and streets
And other places we've been
It's a long way to fall
Where the words stray, no-one calls
Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again, and back again...
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back then back again
In a basement near the park (diamonds in the dark)
We danced all night and then we kissed
Your smile like diamonds in the dark
Where the words stray, no-one calls
We would be together forever (diamonds in the dark)
We would live on Delancey Street
Then you cut you hair and it ended there
Where the words stray, no-one calls
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back then back again
I'm clinging to a cliff face, staring at your shoes
And tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you feel the same?
Or are we just waking to a day we can't
A day we can't change?
Between you and me (diamonds in the dark)
But I still wander in between the sheets and streets
And other places we've been
Where the words stray, no-one calls
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again, and back again...

Made me cry!
@Fruityface This is definately the most powerful line in the song to me
@Fruityface This is definately the most powerful line in the song to me
This is my favourite song on the album and i love the way it buids up an intro at the begging the story behind then song reminds me of this situation i was in with somone i harldy knew and never met but i waited in my room in vain and the person was a promise i never kept. yet time winds back and back again i think its an amazing song
Most amazing song ever. I agree, its my favourite song on the album. It's so beautiful. I loves it.
Lyrics slightly off, but good for the most part
