Diamonds in the Dark - Mystery Jets

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
