I pulled a stone from the riverbed
Worn so smooth by the years it shed
Felt its weight in my open hand
A quiet thing from a silent land
I dug up a diamond from the dark
Shaped by time and a broken heart
You can hold it up to the fading light
See the cracks where the secrets hide
I found a coin in the pocket seam
Faded date from a forgotten dream
Scratched the rust with my thumb nail
Told myself a different tale
I dug up a diamond from the dark
Shaped by time and a broken heart
You can hold it up to the fading light
See the cracks where the secrets hide
I remember the way you used to laugh
Like a stone skipping on the photograph
Now the water is still and cold
And the story is getting old
I dug up a diamond from the dark
Shaped by time and a broken heart
You can hold it up to the fading light
See the cracks where the secrets hide
I dug up a diamond
I dug up a diamond
From the dark
