Terence Trent D'arby Ttd's Recurring Dream
Diamonds in the rain In the first dream you were a driver And I was a car, we didn't get real far We took a highway full of black top roadkill Could that be me? Could that be you? (Could that be me?) In the 2nd dream you were a rifle And I was a deer but with no shelter near You were camouflaged In pain I couldn't see through Could that be me? Could that be you? (Could that be me?) The slow striptease of time Releases now the seven veils And ages of sweet wanderlust Steals about a half step from my stride And hold me now accountable And throws a finger at my trust And barks like a big dog at my pride But shows me diamonds in the rain Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till I die Diamonds in the rain In this recurring dream You said you were lonely I said everyone's lonely And not just you Some people just hide their loneliness Behind the coats of others Could that be me? Could that be you? (Could that be me?) Please don't let that be me and you! Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till I die Diamonds in the rain
