about

A pretty country lament for lost love.

lyrics

Your heart is a diamond,
My heart is a flame.
But a love out of season,
Is a love with no name.

The heavens grew weary,
Then faded to black.
In that moment I knew,
We could never turn back.

Smiles made of shadows,
Gave you away.
Yet still I wanted you to stay.

'Cos I stole the sky for you,
Cheated and lied for you,
Threw down my pride for you,
And laughed at the shame.
I sold my soul for you,
Turned lead to gold for you,
Would have grown old for you,
But all my love’s in vain.

I turn my face to the sky ,
It's tattooed by rain.
No songs of innocence,
Help me to carry this pain.
Time’s river goes flowing,
Leaving me on the track,
And just like a river,
Time will never flow back.
