Dancing with Angels

03. DIVING FOR PEARLS

Do you remember how it used to be

When together we watched the sun set on the sea

And I held you in my arms so tight

I kept you safe all through the night

And everything I did I did it for you

And everything I was was true

And everything I hoped for I hoped for you

you were my world, everything to me

And I’ve been diving for pearls now I’m coming up for air

I’m casting off the chains that dragged me deep

I’ve been swimming ‘round in circles chasing dolphins everywhere

But I’m no longer shedding tears, no more tears shall I weep for you

You were the best mistake I ever made

And I was the best game you ever played

I lost myself in you and I disappeared

your marionette and you, my puppeteer

Like mother’s milk to a dying man

Like walking barefoot on burning sand

Like staring at the sun and going blind

Like a favorite drug that blows my mind

And I’ve been diving for pearls now I’m coming up for air

I’m casting off the chains that dragged me deep

I’ve been swimming ‘round in circles chasing dolphins everywhere

But I’m no longer shedding tears, no more tears shall I weep for you

Before you go your way and I go mine

I’d like to tell you just one more time, I love you, yes I love you…

Do you remember how it used to be

It’s now just a fading memory

I’ve been diving for pearls now I’m coming up for air

I’m casting off the chains that dragged me deep

I’ve been swimming ‘round in circles chasing dolphins everywhere

But I’m no longer shedding tears, no more tears shall I weep for you
