Lyrics
Once I had an enemy
His fingers on my neck and even then
I didn't mean it to end
We danced until the morninglight
We cried and laughed but held the grip so tight
We couldn't breath in the air
And through this tiny little hole we saw a light
Of diamonds washed upon the shore
I could be there, oh I could be there
Once I saw you standing
on my doorsteps asking me to take a ride
I wouldn't go that way
We turned the page a millon times
We whispered and we screamed against the tide
It wasn't easy to see
And all these funny little words were well defined
They found their way to be unheard
I could be there, oh I could be there, I could be there,
if I had a way
Once I said that everything would fall into its place
I guess I lied, .....I couldn't see that far
Waiting for the world to come
around and show us what we had in mind
It wasn't easy to see
