David Gray - Fixative lyrics

If there's a diamond in my mind Will it dwindle down to nought Or will it always be defined If I can 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 That swallow caught up in the nets That 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 mist And there are traces left for sure On every mouth you ever kissed So I'm returning to the word To find my place between the lines Where I might dutifully record The blue within your seagull stare That funny way you had to care For every little thing beyond repair Don't slam the door boy When you leave And so I call out in the gulf Where you went walking with the wolf Hey boy you really brought it on yourself Don't slam the door now When you leave The strangest foe we ever faced Is stalking every stage you graced And crushing diamonds into paste Don't slam the door boy When you leave Don't slam the door boy When you leave Don't slam the door boy When you leave
