Diamond Heart

So do you know I'm a dancer now

With red painted lips, and a jezebel crown

So have you heard, I'm a singer now

With reliquary eyes, and a diadem frown

But I look for you

In the diamond trees

And the highway divine

Deliver me

Your father died

A month ago

And he scattered his ashes

In the snow

But, oh, my lonely diamond heart

It misses you so well

Oh, my lonely diamond heart

It misses you oh well

I had a man in every town

And I thought of you each time

I tore off my gown

Changes have come

And I cannot recall

The shape of your face

Through the winters and falls

But I look for you

In the traffic seas

And the bars I'm always frequenting

Your father died

Some months ago

And we scattered his ashes

In the snow

Holidays are the hardest hours of the year

Holidays are the hardest hours of the year

Holidays are the hardest hours of the year

And oh my lonely diamond heart

It misses you my dear

She gave me a bird

Made out of clay

So I never will forget her

And he gave me a book

Made out of wood

To fasten all

The emblems

She gave me a bird

Made out of clay

So I never will forget her

But, oh, my lonely diamond heart

It misses you so well

And, oh, my lonely diamond heart

It misses you oh well
