Diamonds Aren't So Hard
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't let it bring you down
Your woman's gone and left you
The taxman's here he's knocking on your door
Don't let it bring you down
Your brand new house is burning
They're dumping toxic waste in your backyard
Your next door neighbour's gone and won the pools
Tour life's so bad you wish that it was all over
You and I
Could leave this all behind
Dream a little
Leave ourselves behind
Come with me
Where dragons rule the air
And diamonds aren't so hard to find
And come what may
Heroes never fail
And time stands still
No matter if you're young or old
Don't let it bring you down
Nothing lasts for ever
Even female movie stars grow old
We try to break the rules and never age
We try so hard but everything's in vain
Then one day you wake and find that it's all over
You and I
Could leave this all behind
Dream a little
Leave ourselves behind
Come with me
Where dragons rule the air
And diamonds aren't so hard to find
And come what may
Heroes never fail
And time stands still
No matter if you're young or old
