Black Diamond: Black Ribbon
We were almost out When the circus came to town It stuck around Arresting me Captive, reacting I fell in a dream
Where you were a mountain And I covered you as snow Born from the fountain You never grew old
I built you a dollhouse A safe-haven Vacation home Far away from I tied a black diamond To the black ribbon I drape On an antique bird cage I fell again
You were a cardinal And I was a mocking bird Who plucked all your feathers Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So you'd never fly home
The train came into town And settled down Traded stream for electricity
And we buckled-down belts Traded time for ourselves For a suitcase of paperweights Neckties, inkwells And a pretty black dress Made of all the loose-ends Left from another life we'll bury next weekend And I dreamed you grew older And took the train homeward I wave from the station where you left me To never die, never leave, never age In an antique bird cage
Black diamond for you Black ribbon on my sleeve (for me) I fell asleep
