| In these days of manmade wonders,
|
| We still bicker over flies…
|
| When you come seeking for forgiveness
|
| I’ll be forced to choose my side.
|
| If I deny you what you’re searching,
|
| Do I do it out of fear?
|
| Am I ruling out my reason,
|
| Killing that which I hold dear?
|
| Out of my way, I’m running with an excuse just underway;
|
| Reality’s so daunting, and I’ve got no way to explain.
|
| ‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
|
| I know you’re the one…
|
| So when I hear you calling my name
|
| Why do I turn away and run?
|
| I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
|
| Sweet happiness in tears.
|
| Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
|
| Diamonds for tears.
|
| In the light of recent findings,
|
| There’s no greater taint than grace,
|
| But to relinquish all our bindings,
|
| Always finds us out of place.
|
| If I rested here a while more,
|
| Would you hold me to your heart?
|
| If I knew what it was meant for,
|
| Would I know to play my part?
|
| Out of my way, I’m leaving;
|
| Another excuse before I’ll stay.
|
| Reality’s applauding;
|
| I know I don’t know the right way.
|
| ‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
|
| I know you’re the one…
|
| So when I hear you calling my name,
|
| I know you’re the one.
|
| I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
|
| Sweet happiness in tears.
|
| Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
|
| Diamonds for tears.
|
| Is it a lost cause?
|
| Can we overlook this taint?
|
| Are these dead laws
|
| Like a doubt eating the saint?
|
| And though I fear these shackles
|
| Like my darkness closing in,
|
| I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands…
|
| ‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
|
| I know you’re the one…
|
| So when I hear you calling my name,
|
| I know the good I’ve done.
|
| I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
|
| Sweet happiness in tears.
|
| Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
|
| Diamonds for tears. |
