All Your Diamonds

Looking through your window
At the empty street from a factory of floating frames
It looks so different, but it smells the same this pennyroyal claim
No matter how you try
The sound won’t let you sleep, with tires turning gravel hard
And your home it seems so very far just like a distant star

Daylight fading into a glow
Slow rain on top of heavy snow
Begging to be left alone, but nobody’s home

Saving all your jewels for when the Sun goes down
Seasons passing with alarming speed
It’s going faster than you'd ever believe and soon your children will leave
Don’t you know your mother gave you aimless time
Now you’re too late to realize
'Cause you told yourself convenient lies to rest your greedy eyes

Why can’t we just take it slow
Throw all your diamonds in the falling snow?
We can find a place, I know, where everybody’s home

Staring at the runway from your window seat from the belly of a Boeing crane
You swore you’d never come this way again
'Cause every time it’s insane
And you turned to your lover as you stood in line
You said: It's better were together now
Cause if this weather takes our love straight down I’d rather not be around
