Sometimes Blue

Concrete Diamonds

I saw the light
It was standing right
On the road in front of me
I don't ask questions
And I don't need any replies
All my life
I've spent the night
And I don't remember the days
But I do remember
The way I used to be
My friends are beaten down
Burned out and addicted
To lend a hand
Is to lose an arm
And looking back
I know we knew
That it wouldn't be a picnic
But we never thought
Not really
That we'd ever come
To any harm
And the winds of change
They blow the same
But I feel them stronger now
And playing for change
Down on a rifle range
Is stupid anyhow

(Chorus) And I must adhere
Lord, don't let me stray
From the concrete diamonds
That shimmer me home
From the concrete diamonds
That shimmer me home

And I've got one of two
River rocks
Of smooth obsidian
I hold it close
Because I know
Baby, that you hold
The other one
I'm coming on your house
It's just a block down
From the station
All the lights are on
I keep walking
'Cause, baby, I got no
expectations
But in my dreams
A hurricane is still
Screaming out your name
And the field's aflame
With roses
And dark clouds
Are holding rain
(Chorus)

Well, I'd love to see the sky
But I've got to keep both eyes
On the road in front of me
'Til my hand is on the key
And I'm safe inside
(Chorus)
