White As Diamonds Lyrics - To Be Still - Alela Diane

I've known mornings white as diamonds 

Silent from a night so cold 

Such a stillness, calm as the owl glides 

Our lives are buried in snow, oh, oh 

I was sifting through the piles 

In my hand a tangled thread 

Each patient tug upon the snarl 

Is a glimpse of what has been, oh, oh 

Burdened bands gain strong hands 

Gaping holes where diamonds should be 

Must have been the morning that stole them 

A glint of white in the pocket of winter, oh, oh 

And some hearts are ghosts settling down in dark waters 

Just as silt grows heavy and drowns with the stones 

Some hearts are ghosts settling down in dark waters 

Just as silt grows heavy and drowns with the stones, oh, oh
