lyrics

the raging water washed over her feet
revealed the sand covering the trees
and for that one moment it was like
it’s just her and me
why couldn’t we stay right there forever and ever
it’s like it was just yesterday
and now here you are with tears in your face

she looked up and saw diamonds on the side of her hair
so beautiful - those years led, her life fully bare
broken down - on her knees now, she’s already there
then she looked up, and saw diamonds - saw diamonds

well i’m struggling so mightily with this cancer deep
as it flows right through her head
and in these days my thoughts have been so selfishly on me
but i see the strength in her eyes no compromise
it’s like it was just yesterday
now you’re holding me

under the city lights, the smell of smoke, and bloodshot eyes
we watch in awe of all that we hear them say
in all the stories told, of where they turn
it’s almost like a grand machine that’s moving everyday
and as we’re all alone, we’ll take a drink and toast the night that
gave us life and chased all the storms away
because i know right now, we’ll stay awake, as we’re face to face

she looked up and saw diamonds on the side of her hair
so beautiful - those years led, her life fully bare
broken down - on her knees now, she’s already there
then she looked up, and saw diamonds - saw diamonds
then she looked up, and saw diamonds...
