1​.​02 - Diamond Days & Firenights

from Diamond Days & Firenights [2 LP] by The Last Domino

/

about

Preservation, comfort, idealism. These are all well and good, but they won't get your ship far if it's still tied to the dock. Cut the rope.

lyrics

I'll keep my eyes up tonight

Gimme somethin' of past desire
And dreams of long ago
Gimme somethin' untainted
Made of glistening gold
'Cos my globe is cracked and leakin'
And out falls the snow
So gimme somethin' undamaged
Onto which I can hold

Diamond days and firenights
Make a mark, and make it shine
Bright enough to see from satellites

Well, there's no shame in dreamin'
Of a future age
Where all your aspirations
Haven't been whisked away
So I'll keep my spirits, hopin'
That the road will pave
And gimme somethin' that I can
Carry off to my grave

Gimme diamond days and firenights
Make a mark, and make it shine
Enough to see from every satellite
Diamond days and firenights
Draw your eyes up to the sky
You won't distinguish us from the moonlight

Keep your eyes up

We are the sunlight
We are the starlight

Honey, look now, way up high
Focus on that star
Close your eyes, and concentrate real hard
