Black Diamonds Songtext
von Big Thief

So much comin′ in
I do not know where to begin
I just follow the lead you're pulling
And I get lost in your trail

So much more to tell
You just ask me if I′m doing well
But I do not know what the hell
I just swallow hard

In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing

So much you can see
Should I let you make a woman of me?
Should I let you take the mystery from me?
See the inside of my room at night?


Sometimes you will find
Things I do not know how to leave behind
I've been grappling with my mind
I′ve been stuck inside a jail

In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love′s revealing

The cold of winter warms my blood, and he's hot like a bed of steel
He finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whip-poor-wills
I could follow close behind and slowly disappear
But I can never leave him, I can never leave him
I can never leave him, I can never leave him
I can never leave him, I can never leave him

In his eyes, black diamonds
I could die
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling

So much more to do
Come on, let me make a man outta you
I could gather you, and you tell the truth
You could cry inside my arms


You could cry inside my arms like a child
You could cry
You could cry
