[Intro (Partial Chorus):] When times get rough, you're my diamond in the now Lining in the clouds Cry to get it out Smiling with a child The 'why' to stick it out Through stress in silent sitting bouts [Verse 1:] Just a million miles between us, Venus Yah made your eyes emblazoned sapphires for me Like ain't a half a smile between us The way your cheeks spring up Sweet tongue, hung behind meek doves Thinking thirst through this drought aloud The singing clouds I speak of The mother to your mother To my sons, your love is thunder Sung from Heaven You're my sun and water, daughter of redemption Mentioned always in my silence My asylum in your iris Every shade of silk I dream in Deep secret streams I confide in Spring breeze greet the green leaves United with this dry wind Like diving into violets, gliding free, no one's an island She's a diamond tree Pearl limbs like nag champa Purr grin like myrrh samba I thank Yah with words And burn when they're not enough It's the psalm I'd spit to Christ twice, wife Your tears are ice swans My gift to life, light like Your embrace, the grace of white fawns Arriving dawn that I've awaited life-long, when she yawns Right palm and arm, the softest song sung To the farthest heights and nights when he's gone Nothing to offer thee right, like my life in this song A flight to leave, no night of sleep, it seems so frightfully wrong It feels like life's a drink of soul To hold my wife in these arms To seek the greatest heights to seat you And decipher these psalms [Chorus:] When time's get rough, you're my diamond in the now Lining in the clouds, cry to get it out, smiling with a child The 'why' to stick it out, through stress and silent sitting bouts For being patient with this weak man when his mind is flipping out When time's get rough, you're my diamond in the now Lining in the clouds, cry to get it out, smiling with a child The 'why' to stick it out, through stress and silent sitting bouts For being patient with this weak man... Just a million miles to dream of Your kiss is Indian summer swings and sweet plum To see you sleep like Spanish moss And hear you breathe sun Dare to compare you to the clear blue and the deeps I speak from Like kingdom come, prepared for two in moments Like the roses she hung Light forms through ballerina fingers But, man, she sings when it's funny Strum honey harp strings To the heartbeat of the breeze and just loves me Fit puzzle piece Your cheeks are peach trees in Eden, sleep in sweet shade Seven seas between us shrink in a blink Where we can dream of the day Sea sprayed, Sonoma sunrise eyes, and tiger lily lips Behold the Tigris spilling over and over, pupil solar eclipses, ellipses Big sky iris Divided by the cutest nose in existence Violet misted horizons, mystic islands in the distant Just to sit in silence With water rippled fingertips to violin How this mile ain't an inch to climb, just smiling Your winter pines, Pygmalion hips and thighs And a mind I'd die to hide in Flip script to it's just a twisted trip we're side by side in Treasure of Poseidon, who can find the finest incense Kiss the edge of prism light Like 'Mrs. Life', thistleless inset Crimson grinning rose Timeless, chiseled in stone Throne silken linen Just a million instances from home
