Diamonds in the Dark

Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again

Outside the school gates
We first met in a basement near the park
(Diamonds in the dark)
We danced all night and then we kissed
Your smile like diamonds in the dark

It's a long way to fall
When the words stray
No-one calls

We would have little children
We would be together forever
(Diamonds in the dark)
We would live on the Delancy Street
Then you cut your hair
And it ended there

It's a long way to fall (long way)
When the words stray
No-one calls

Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again

Now I've nothing left to lose
Clinging to a cliff-face
Staring at your shoes
And tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you feel the same?
Or are we just waiting for a day we can't
A day that we can't change

And now there's this no-mans land
Between you and me
(Diamonds in the dark)
But I still wander between
The sheets and streets
And other places we've been

It's a long way to fall (long way to fall)
When the words stray
No-one calls (such a long way to fall)
It's a long way to fall (long way to fall)
When the words stray
No-one calls

Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again

Back and back again
Back and back again
Back and back again
Back again
