Why in these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies
When you come seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side


If I deny you what you're searching, do I do it out of fear
Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear


Out of my way I'm coming, with an excuse just underway
Reality's so daunting, and I've got no way to explain


Cos when you're sound asleep next to me, I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away to run
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

In the light of recent findings, there's no greater taint than grace

But to relinquish all our bindings, always finds us out of place

If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart

Will I know what it's meant for, will I know to play my part

Out of my way I'm coming, another excuse before I'll stay

Reality's applauding, I know I don't know the right way

Cos when you're sound asleep next to me, I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name, Yeah, I know you're the one
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears


Is it a lost cause,
Can we overlook this taint

Are these the dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint


And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands


Cos when you're sound asleep next to me, I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name, I'll know the good I've done
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears
