Strawbs - Cut Like A Diamond lyrics

rate me

I was born<br />

In the calm before the storm<br />

In the quiet hour of dawn<br />

With the full moon in my eyes.<br />

<br />

I was kissed<br />

By the rolling river mist<br />

That betrayed the lovers' tryst<br />

A mysterious disguise.<br />

<br />

Cut like a diamond<br />

Sharper than steel<br />

Sweet as the razor's edge<br />

Before the jagged wheel.<br />

<br />

I am lost<br />

I have sold my heart at cost<br />

On the bridges that we crossed<br />

I have carved my name in stone.<br />

<br />

Bitter wife<br />

You have cut me like a knife<br />

I could never take a life<br />

That could never take its own.<br />

<br />

I was born<br />

In the calm before the storm<br />

In the quiet hour of dawn<br />

With the full moon in my eyes.<br />

I will die<br />

With the sun high in the sky<br />

With the river rolling by<br />

Far below the bridge of sighs.
