Diamonds In The Sky

It was just other morning
A day or two ago
I was bringing in the paper
My body moving slow
And there was something on my mind
Someone I didn't know

I forgot about you a long time ago

The extras they were empty
The pictures tainted blue
And in-between the lines
And the things I had to do
There was a misty morning sunshine
Where roses used to grow

I forgot about you a long time ago

Gold lace up in the window
Shirt hanging on the chair
The way you turned your head
The way back in your stare
And the gentile sound of a song
Turning soft and low

I forgot about you a long time ago

And now I see those paper angels
Chasing diamonds in the sky
With clouds of souvenirs
In the shadows under their eyes
I never knew I would miss you
Until you had to go

I forgot about you a long time ago

Colored lights are glowing
The days are losing ground
And just outside the door
There's an old box hanging around
It's covered up with years
Tied with ribbon fading slow

I forgot about you a long time ago
I forgot about you a long time ago
