Diamond Blues

One day you came and you said hello What happened next I do not know Did a chapter fall out to the street below? You said, “I’ve already been there, babe- I see the heart beat of the street” You don’t think the train is coming for me. What did you see on that tv? You pick up the phone Can you tell me which way did the riddler go? Was there something he wanted me to know? I never lied to you, I always told you straight Everything I learned, I learned too late Breathing my last when you decided my fate Cameras and phones helping end my debate. So you say the new girl’s really cool Everything she's learned in school Now this house has new rules. And I look at you with diamond blues. It’s not your son’s heart that I muse It’s a soldier's soul that I've accused. My heart sinking when reading the news, Now I look at you with diamond blues.
