Last Diamond of Light Lyrics

It's your hands on my face

And the garden light

That takes care of time

Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky

Watch them rake up the night

Phosphorescent fire

Summer's ending but it's you and I

Last diamond of light

They told her to give up

Her crystals for Jesus

But she wore them

Because they pleased her

She thinks another life

Could be now

And because I don't know what she means

I think it's me who doesn't please her

She measures her days by how fast they disappear

Can't tell if fast is good

Or if fast is fear

She starts to wonder what is left

Of her American dream

And when her bones start to ache

She will sing to me

Put your hands on my face

Give me the garden light

That takes care of time

Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky

Watch them rake up the night

Phosphorescent fire

Summer's ending but it's you and I

Last diamond of light

Summer is ending

She says can I stay the child

Must I always be burned

Trying to harness wildfire

In the front room

Shining like a dying light

All my dreams preached to me

On a colour t.v

She starts to measure her days by how fast they disappear

Can't tell if fast is good

Or if fast is fear

She starts to wonder what is left

Of her American dream

And when her bones start to ache

She will sing to me

Put your hands on my face

Give me the garden light

That takes care of time

Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky

Watch them rake up the night

Phosphorescent fire

Summer's ending but it's you and I

Last diamond of light

Put your hands on my face

Give me the garden light

That takes care of time

Loves me like paradise

Tip your head to the sky

Watch them rake up the night

Phosphorescent fire

Summer's ending but it's you and I

Last diamond of light
