Diamond Heart lyrics

So do you know I'm a dancer now?

With red painted lips, and a Jezebel crown?

So have you heard I'm a singer now?

With reliquary eyes, and a diadem frown?

But I look for you

In the diamond trees

In a highway divine

Deliver me.

Your father died

A month ago

And he scattered his ashes

In the snow

And oh, my lonely diamond heart

It misses you so well.

And oh, my lonely diamond heart

It misses you, oh well.

I had a man in every town

And I thought of you each time

When I tore off my gown-

Changes have come

And I cannot recall

The shape of your face

Through the winters and falls.

But I look for you

In the traffic seas

In the bars I'm always frequenting.

Your father died

Some months ago

And we scattered his ashes

In the snow

Holydays are the hardest hours of the year

Holydays are the hardest hours of the year

Holydays are the hardest hours of the year

And oh, my lonely diamond heart,

It misses you my dear.

She gave me a bird,

Made out of clay,

So I never will forget her.

And he gave me a book,

Made out of wood,

To fasten all the emblems.

She gave me a bird,

Made out of clay,

So I never will forget her.

And oh, my lonely diamond heart,

It misses you so well.

And oh, my lonely diamond heart,

It misses you, oh well.
