Diamond Heart Lyrics by Marissa Nadler

Songs III: Bird on the Water

2007

So do you know I'm a dancer now
With red painted lips and a jezebel crown?
So have you heard I'm a singer now
With reliquary eyes and a diadem frown?
But I look for you in the diamond trees
And the highway divine deliver me
Your father died a month ago
And he scattered his ashes in the snow
Oh my lonely diamond heart
It misses you so well
But oh my lonely diamond heart
It misses you, oh well
I had a man in every town
And I thought of you each time I tore off my gown
Changes have come and I cannot recall
The shape of your face through the winters and falls
But I look for you in the traffic seas
And the bars I'm always frequenting
Your father died some months ago
And we scattered his ashes in the snow
Holidays are the hardest hours of the year
Holidays are the hardest hours of the year
Holidays are the hardest hours of the year
Oh, my lonely diamond heart
It misses you, my dear
She gave me a bird made out of clay
So never will forget her
And he gave me a book made out of wood
To fasten all the emblems
She gave me a bird made out of clay
So never will forget her
But oh, my lonely diamond heart
It misses you so well
And oh, my lonely diamond heart
It misses you, oh well
