Terence Trent D'arby - TTD's Recurring Dream lyrics

rate me

Diamonds in the rain

In the first dream you were a driver

And I was a car, we didn't get real far

We took a highway full of black top roadkill

Could that be me?

Could that be you?

(Could that be me?)

In the 2nd dream you were a rifle

And I was a deer but with no shelter near

You were camouflaged

In pain I couldn't see through

Could that be me?

Could that be you?

(Could that be me?)

The slow striptease of time

Releases now the seven veils

And ages of sweet wanderlust

Steals about a half step from my stride

And hold me now accountable

And throws a finger at my trust

And barks like a big dog at my pride

But shows me diamonds in the rain

Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till I die

Diamonds in the rain

In this recurring dream

You said you were lonely

I said everyone's lonely

And not just you

Some people just hide their loneliness

Behind the coats of others

Could that be me?

Could that be you?

(Could that be me?)

Please don't let that be me and you!

Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till I die

Diamonds in the rain
