The Diamond

Is the air clear and mineral In the crystal mountain glow? Is the promise eternal? The grass beneath the melting snow Can a sadness be brought here Pressed and hardened into stone? Cast away on the water To sink into the deep unknown? Hey, you were mine for a time You were mine In the diamond's surrender Cut the glass to see the shards Come together, a symbol Pre-designed to fall apart And the wind from a feather Put the ripples in reverse Like a vision of heaven Falling back towards the earth Hey, you were mine for a time Hey, you were mine for a time You were mine for a time Time is spreading thin My fortune closing in I felt the splinters when the shadow burst And the shards disperse I'll find the words To redesign the world you're living on So when time is done You'll know had someone When the light escapes When the diamond breaks When we separate When we separate When we separate When we separate When we separate When we separate
