Cut Like A Diamond

I was born

In the calm before the storm

In the quiet hour of dawn

With the full moon in my eyes.

I was kissed

By the rolling river mist

That betrayed the lovers' tryst

A mysterious disguise.

Cut like a diamond

Sharper than steel

Sweet as the razor's edge

Before the jagged wheel.

I am lost

I have sold my heart at cost

On the bridges that we crossed

I have carved my name in stone.

Bitter wife

You have cut me like a knife

I could never take a life

That could never take its own.

I was born

In the calm before the storm

In the quiet hour of dawn

With the full moon in my eyes.

I will die

With the sun high in the sky

With the river rolling by

Far below the bridge of sighs.
