Diamonds and Rust
Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
My hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
Oh and you brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that hotel
Over
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You are always so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all coming back too clearly
Oh I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
Diamonds and rust
Diamonds and rust
Diamonds and rust
First of Blackmore's I'm listing, I can't explain why I'm drawn to this, despite the intense draw to it, aside from a slight possibility that's another thats gonna stay in the back of my mind for now.
Sake of Song
The moon must be an angel
Her halo surely heaven sent
Watching from above should the bells forget to ring
And we but lonely travelers
Following a ray of light
All become the same when we begin to sing
Round and round we all go
Where we stop nobody knows
Heaven meets on the earth
For the sake of the song
For the sake of the song
Could you ever fly without the fear of falling
Does the nightbird cease just because its dawn
Could a candle burn with any less resilience
Should we never love for the fear that it may fade
(Chorus)
For the sake of the song
Could you ever be just for the sake of being
Could a melody ever be wrong
Could you ever sing just for the sake of singing
Set your spirit free for the sake of the song
(Chorus)
For the sake of the song (2x)
Another I can't explain the meaning of.
Fires At
I stood out here once before
With my head held in my hands,
For all that I had known of this place
I could never understand.
Chorus:
On the hills the fires burned at
Superstition plagued the air,
the stars are out and magic is here...
I wished on the seven sisters,
Bring to me wisdom of age,
All that's locked within the book of secrets,
I longed for the knowledge of the sage...
(Chorus)
So, the sisters smiled to themselves,
And they whispered as they shone,
And it was from that very instant,
I knew I would never be alone.
(Chorus)
Many stars were long forgotten,
Many faded and became ghosts,
Still my sisters glittered down from heaven,
Always there when I needed them most...
(Chorus)
I stood out here once before
With my head held in my hands,
For all that I had known of this place
I could never understand.
(Chorus)
The stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out and magic is here
The stars are out and magic is here...
Yet again, can't explain this one.
I thought of you the other day
How worlds of change led us astray
Colors seem to fade to grey in the wake of yesterday
You looked into my eyes
You had me hypnotized
And I can still remember you
I had a dream of you and I
A thousand stars lit up the sky
I touched your hand and you were gone
But memories of you live on
You looked into my eyes
You had me hypnotized
And I can still remember you
Those moments spent together
Promising forever
And I can still remember you
Do you ever think of me?
And get lost in the memory?
When you do, I hope you smile
And hold that memory a while
You looked into my eyes
You had me hypnotized
And I can still remember you
Those moments spent together
Promising forever
And I can still remember you
Still remember you
Still remember you
Still remember you
Still remember you
Still remember you
Still...
I'm not sure where this one came from, but I'm reasonably sure its similar to something with someone I knew before.
Now And Then
The past is so familiar
But that's why you couldn't stay
Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams
Beside you were built to find your own way...
But after all these years, I thought we'd still hold on
But when I reach for you and search your eyes
I see you've already gone...
Chorus:
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave just remember what we had...
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then...
Can't do a thing with ashes
But throw them to the wind...
Though this heart may be in pieces now
You know I'll build it up again and
I'll come back stronger than I ever did before
Just don't turn around when you walk out that door...
(Chorus)
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then...
(Chorus)
And even though our story’s at the end
I still may think of you now and then...
Similar meaning to the one above, I think, and quite possibly the same person. I'm not entirely sure who it is, though, or if I've met up with him yet.
World Of Stone
Bring to me all of my arrows
Bring to me my crossbow too
I fear we might need them both
Before the night is through
Once a world of glittering hope
This world is not the world we knew
The only light left to shine
Is between me and you
Chorus:
On our own
In a World of Stone
We are not alone
I had once believed in angels
They were everywhere I looked
A gentle hand guiding me
To give more than I took
But I have died a thousand times
Watching all these angels fall
Their lonely eyes haunt me still
We will avenge them all
(Chorus)
Bring me mead and bring me ale
To help us face this fight again
Good fortune will shine down on us
Together we will win
And they will never break our spirit
We will never turn and run
And we will rise stronger still
When we stand as one!
(Chorus x2)
Bring to me all of my arrows
Bring to me my crossbow too
I fear we might need them both
Before the night is through
This pulls at me from the present, the warrioress part of me. Its also got a few things I need to remember in it. I love this one.
Shadow of the Moon
In the shadow of the moon,
She danced in the starlight
Whispering a haunting tune
To the night...
Velvet skirts spun 'round and 'round
Fire in her stare
In the woods without a sound
No one cared...
Through the darkened fields entranced,
Music made her poor heart dance,
Thinking of a lost romance...
Long ago...
Feeling lonely, feeling sad,
She cried in the moonlight.
Driven by a world gone mad
She took flight...
"Feel no sorrow, feel no pain,
Feel no hurt, there's nothing gained...
Only love will then remain,"
She would say.
Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon...
Somewhere just beyond the mist
Spirits were seen flying
As the lightning led her way
Through the dark...
Shadow of the Moon..
This brings images and memories from Alyssa's time to me, and there's also a bit of pull to me from the present as well.
So, there you are. The other half of my lyric dump. Have fun. They're a great deal of the lyrics that have meaning/pull and/or are important to me.
