Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back againOutside the school gates
We first met in a basement near the park
(Diamonds in the dark)
We danced all night and then we kissed
Your smile like diamonds in the darkIt's a long way to fall
When the words stray, no one callsWe would have little children
We would be together forever
(Diamonds in the dark)
We would live on Delancy Street
But then you cut your hair and it ended thereIt's a long way to fall
When the words stray, no one callsLooking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back againNow I've nothing left to lose
I'm clinging to a cliff-face staring at your shoes
And tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me do you feel the same?
Or are we just waiting to a day we can't
A day that we can't change, we can't change?And now there's this no man's land
Between you and me
(Diamonds in the dark)
But I still wander in between
The sheets and streets and other places we've beenIt's a long way to fall
When the words stray, no one callsLooking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back againBack and back again, back and back again
Back and back again, back and back again
Back and back again, back and back again
Back again
