Diamonds Lyrics

All I am is the bones you made for me so garishly clean
White as the horses, that carry me away
And all my demons, you said, come and go with the days
A mind's will to play
I'll grow old in my ways just like you do

Oh there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, be clear

All I am is the bones you made for me
Just driftwood for the sea
Heavy as the horses, that carry me away
That carry me away

Oh there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
Oh there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
So be clear, be clear

Oh there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
Oh oh oh ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh oh oh ain't no way to say I love you more
So be clear, just to be clear
So be clear, be clear

Oh there ain't no diamonds in the bottom
No there ain't no darkness that I fear
Oh there ain't no way to say I love you more
So be clear, be clear

Well, at T in the Park Ben said "this is a song about my mum" just before settling into one of the nicest and saddest songs I've ever heard in front of a completely mental crowd.

The first verse goes like this:

All I am is the bones you made for me So garishly clean White as the horses that carry me away And all my demons, you said, Come and go with the days A mind's will to play I grow old in my way, Just like you do.
