Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So much coming in
I do not know where to begin
I just follow the lead you're pulling
And I get lost in your trail
[Verse 2]
So much more to tell
You just ask me if I'm doing well
I do not know, what the hell
I just swallow hard
[Verse 3]
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
[Verse 4]
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing
[Verse 5]
So much you can see
Should I let you make a woman of me
Should I let you take the mystery from me
See the inside of my room at night
[Verse 6]
Sometimes you will find
Things I did not know how to leave behind
I've been grappling with my own mind
I've been stuck inside a jail
[Verse 7]
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
[Verse 8]
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing
[Verse 9]
The cold of winter warms my blood
And he's hot like a bed of steel
Finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whip-poor-will
I could follow close behind and then slowly disappear
But I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
[Verse 10]
In his eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
[Verse 11]
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
[Verse 12]
So much more to do
Come on let me make a man out of you
I could gather you and you'd tell the truth
You could cry inside my arms
You could cry inside my arms like a child
You could cry
You could cry
