about

Started writing it when busking to an empty street in Cumberland, BC

lyrics

A diamond has been hiding, buried in the earth
And under constant pressure since the moment of her birth
Miners try to find her to behold her precious gleam
But darkness overtakes them and she was but just a dream

Time is passing like a freight train through some lonely country town
We can watch from behind our windows, wondering where it might be bound
Or you could lie beside me, darling, in the candle's dancing glow
Where the secret's just a gentle touch and the fine art of takin it slow

We all keep our list of reasons to extinguish a burning love
Fire's wild and needs constant tending; nothing ever is enough
And we cannot know the future until the moment's past
Take me back to the night I met you, before the spell was cast
