Diamond mine

The city haze in the summertime,
The traffic rolls like a serpentine,
Sitting down here by the harbour,
With a six pack of cold beer,
So many thoughts fly round my head,

And then they disappear
Back in the days when I was young,
I found a place where I belonged,
But there's been so many changes,
Innocence got complicated,
I'm a prisoner of my dreams,
And this tangled web I've weaved

CHORUS:
Lost my way in the city lights,
Now I try too hard to make up the time,
The journey doesn't end here,
And the end is not in sight,
If I keep on digging deeper,
There'll be diamonds down the mine.

Long ago in the underworld,
I was down and out 'till I met a girl,
And she never tried to change me,
And I knew she trusted in me,
Led me through her garden gate,
'Till I finally found my way

The road is dark, and it ain't too clear,
Whatever things have brought me here,
Sometimes brings me so undone,
And I knew this day would come,
When I would finally see,
Through the shadows of my dreams,

CHORUS:
Lost my way in the city lights,
Now I try too hard to make up the time,
Looking back over my shoulder,
At the shadows of my dreams,
Though I can't escape the future,
Trying to fight my way upstream,
Though I know there's so far to go,
There's so much to do - so much room to grow,
The journey doesn't end here,
I can make up for lost time,
If I keep on digging deeper,
There'll be diamonds down the mine.

I'm sitting down by the harbourside,
So many things flying round my mind,
Can't stop thinking about you baby,
You have brought me so much good,
I wish that I could find the words,
But I'm so misunderstood

Lost my way in the city lights,
Now I try too hard to make up the time,
The journey doesn't end here,
And the end is not in sight,
If I keep on digging deeper,
There'll be diamonds down the mine

I thought that I - had a poet's mind,
I've tried so hard, but I can't describe,
What it is about you baby,
I can't seem to get it right,
But my every imperfection,
You have filled up with your light
CHORUS:
