If there´s a diamond in my mind
Will it dwindle down to naught
Or will it always be defined
If I cant fix it with my heart

So I´m returning to the place
That I might look into your eyes
And look so hard that I can taste
That winter sun that never sets
The swallow caught up in the nets
The perfect chorus when it hits
Don´t slam the door, boy, when you leave

Was heading northward when I saw
That empty house out in the midst
There are traces left for sure
On every mouth you ever kissed

So I´m returning to the word
That I might look between the lines
That I might dutifully recall
The blue within your seagull stare
The funny ways you had to care
For every little thing beyond compare
Don´t slam the door, boy, when you leave

So now I´m calling in the gulf
When you went walking with wolf
Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself
Don´t slam the door, now, when you leave

The strangest for we ever faced
The stark in every staging grace
Is crushing diamonds into paste
Don´t slam the door, boy, when you leave
Don´t slam the door, boy, when you leave
