Diamond in my eyes
Vision of a poor man through tempered gla**
Diamonds of tears, sharp pain of cries
Sinking in salt water to lose contrast
Diamonds' cutting edges disappear
Refracting like tears in a sea too hard to see
Eyes sealed, too hard to gleam
Below the veil, vision recalled in a dream
[Chorus]
Take my hand when it is in your reach
From where you stand pull me up the beach
Onto the land
To where a diamond can touch my eyes
To where a diamond can touch my eyes
Trying to remember how to swim
Salt water keeps you supernatant
Twilight and the gleaming dims
Until dawn the dreaming savant
I touched the crystal abyss
It cut me in the tranquility of bliss
For a moment I was nobody,
Nowhere in this world to miss
[Chorus]
(Repeat)
