The Waiting - Diamonds to Dust lyrics

A ruby stone ring, in a circle of gold A clock set in silver, for you to behold A necklace so costly, it can never be sold And I buried them deep, just like I was told Not exactly a blur, and not quite a streak But what do you want, this girl's an antique I kept her from danger, because I think she's unique Got grease on my hands, and dirt on my knees Chorus But even the diamonds, turn, to dust Pa**ing along, as everything must New clothes into rags tall trees down to stumps New wives into hags young men into grumps Like the treasure in hand that's starting to rust Even the diamonds, turn to dust Yeah So take it from me, if I'm closing my hand Around anything, that crumbles to sand Let me give freely, as You command Open my, arms and help me to stand Chorus In thanksgiving, here I stand For the treasure that You've given to me But what is sweet, sweeter and sweeter still Is the beauty of Your grace I see ‘Cause even the diamonds turn to dust Pa**ing along, as everything must New clothes into rags tall trees down to stumps New wives into hags young men into grumps New clothes into rags tall trees down to stumps New wives into hags young men into grumps New clothes into rags tall trees down to stumps New wives into hags young men into grumps Like the treasure in hand that's starting to rust Even the diamonds turn to dust Even the diamonds Even the diamonds, turn to dust They turn to dust Turn to dust
