Diamonds and Gold Dust Lyrics by Nell Bryden

Arms Around The Flame

2022

[Verse 1]
I never thought these things would let me go
I had a chain around me, had a chain around me
There was payment that I thought I owed
A debt I couldn't pay to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
But I wanted two fairy tales
I was missing my sanity
I dare myself to pay the bitter price
I’m tantalized, damn it caused too much
[Chorus]
Diamonds and gold dust
They can't keep a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Won't you leave, they won’t let me free
[Verse 2]
Breaking free is not for everyone
But there are other like me, then the others like me
There's a sentence right before the storm
Got to pull myself from this stream
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the heavy clouds roll on in
Rain on down, save my sanity
I dare myself to pay the bitter price
I'm tantalized, damn it caused too much
[Chorus]
Diamonds and gold dust
They can't keep a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Won't you leave, they won't let me free
[Bridge]
Oh, you can't keep me down with diamonds
You can't keep me down with diamonds
You can’t keep me down with diamonds
You can’t keep me down with diamonds
Don't think I will ever try a second time, oh
[Chorus]
Diamonds and gold dust
They can’t keep a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Won't you leave, they won't let me free
Diamonds and gold dust
They'll never get a hold of me
Diamonds and gold dust
Burn it down and break it free
[Outro]
I never thought these things would let me go
I had a chain around me, had a chain around me
There was payment that I thought I owed
A debt I couldn’t pay to be free
