Diamonds Lyrics - Mercury Rev

Look how the sun, captured by the rain 

Glimmers and falls and lands in golden balls 

Like a bracelet hung from a spider's web 

For me to show to you, like gifts 

That you won't forget 

For as long as you live 

See how the rain, captured by the leaves 

Shimmers and falls and lives on in diamond balls 

Like a necklace hung over a lemon branch 

For me to show to you, like gifts 

That you won't forget 

For as long as you live 

Watch how the stars, captured by the sky 

Appear to die before our eyes and live on, in other ways 

Well, tonight they're mine 

For me to show, for me to shower you, like gifts 

That you won't forget 

For as long as you live 

And you will always have 

For I will always give them to you, to you
