Ashes And Diamonds

The shiver of love
Moves me to tears
What a dance it has led me
In the steps of our years
We repeat ourselves
Like crystals that dissolve
And then they crystalize again
Words without thinking
The morning after ends
In ashes and diamonds
Ashes and diamonds

Your ashes at daybreak
A diamond at night
I captured your drama
In the frieze of still life
I want to take in you my arms
And squeeze the living daylights
Out of you my dear
In spite of our differences
So soon you come again

You can tell it's me
I can tell it's you
For it was not your perfume
Or the room
All that I'm left with
Is ashes of you
And all that I'm left with
Is a diamond from you

You can tell it's me
I can tell it's you
For it was not your perfume
Or the room
All that I'm left with
Is ashes of you
And all that I'm left with
Is a diamond from you

Ashes and diamonds
Ashes and diamonds
Ashes and diamonds...
