Blue Diamonds
Rusted Root Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And we go out

On the world tonight with our blue diamonds that were once our fears pressing down on the town

And we go out my love holding all our bets Ooh…My lady resurrect this breath on this hour of the night We'll make it love We'll make it love

Cause I found you now and forever I won't waste this breath Let time be by our side It's now and never I won't waste this breath
Now don't you wait I feel it in my hurt Ooh…My lady you're the woman I search to roll my heart roll my heart this way Hey…hey….

Cause I found you now and forever I won't waste this breath Let time be by our side It's now and never I won't waste this breath

I remember a time a little less tame you rolled my heart home this way…this way





On the world tonight...
