[Chorus]
She’s out there shining like a diamond (out there shining like)
Slipping under the horizon (slipping down under the)
I’m staring off into the distance (staring blank into the)
Listening to a little whisper (listening to a little)
[Verse 1]
Perched in a tree outside
Chasing the smoke of a distant fire
Making a screen in my mind
Reciting the words of a lullaby
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be scared, I'm alive
I'll be done and back in no time
But golden hair, golden eyes
Cut me down and watch me capsize
She’s out there shining like a diamond (out there shining like)
Slipping under the horizon (slipping down under the)
I’m staring off into the distance (staring blank into the)
Listening to a little whisper (listening to a little)
[Verse 2: STS]
Uh, slim cigs and red wine
I could never tell if she's sober
I'm addicted to what she does to me
When these club nights are all over
It's 4 AM and we closer
Than anybody who knows her
Knows what she's seen, it haunts her dreams
When she wakes up I just hold her
And I told her, my shoulder
God must've put here for you
She finds that a bit hard to believe
By the way he's put her through
And that's true, but untrue
'Cause the devil does what he do
And that man was made to make his own decisions
Which makes religion taboo
And we sat and talked as the distance turns a new day
My joint burns as her point turns into what made me stay
It's your pretty smile and since I was a child I was taught to walk by faith
So hellfire and wild horses, they could hardly drag me away
And I've heard men speaking such stuff
As a diamond found in the rough
That people treasure but it takes pressure
And I compare you as such
Can't help but stare but I must
Caught in the glare and I trust
That you're worth the time, and I don't mind
'Cause I'm digging you like it's gold rush
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be scared, I'm alive
I'll be done and back in no time
But golden hair, golden eyes
Cut me down and watch me capsize
[Chorus]
She’s out there shining like a diamond (out there shining like)
Slipping under the horizon (slipping down under the)
I’m staring off into the distance (staring blank into the)
Listening to a little whisper (listening to a little)
