Ken Stringfellow - Known Diamond lyrics

Hearing the phone ring Another angel lost its wings Better to save it For when you really need something "Is heaven abandoned?" The words that you could never write They called me to send me Wondering where you are tonight Like a known diamond, they say you got the light, girl So take the right to find the fire that fits Your faded heart The shadow of diamonds, it keeps you from my sight, girl Don't walk away, just say you'll stay engaged in who you are What you rejected when the harbor lights went out When all is uncertain, you can soothe yourself with doubt You look to the mirror and ask if they make fables there You know you're moving fast when your surface is bare Like a known diamond, they say you got the light, girl So take the right to find the fire that fits Your faded heart The rumor of diamonds can set the dogs to fight, girl So hear these words of mine that say your shine is genuine Locked away, to keep the theives from finding out Remember the sunlight when out in the world you'd walk? You'd drift like a smoke ring in the shadows of New York Then you see her picture, and wonder if you ever left – you can Throw dirt on a memory, but you could never say it's dead Like a known diamond, they say you got the light, girl So take the right to find the fire that fits your faded heart The illusion of diamonds, it keeps you from my sight, girl Don't walk away, just say you'll stay engaged in who you are
