Can't you see I'm holding your flag
The one that you left on the ground
Well is the world too heavy for you
If it makes you feel better, I'll carry it too

No one's gonna stand in your light
Impressions are easy to fight
But until you turn to me and say
You don't need anyone to carry the weight
I will stay

Abilene
Bring it on home to me
Abilene
Isn't it good to be free

Walk with me the diamond road
Tell me every story told
Give me something of your soul
That I can hold onto

I want to wake up to the sound of waves
Crashing on a brand new day
Keep the memory of your face
But wipe the pain away

When you're lonely
(You're not alone)
When your heart aches
(On Diamond Road)
It's gonna take a little time
Yeah it's gonna take a little time
When the night falls

I got a hole in my pocket
You give me love and I drop it
I guess I threw it away
We stick together with every day that passes by
But I'm just like the weather, I keep on changing my mind
Well you can hardly believe it
Every time I turn and say, well
Good morning, I'm leaving
And I'll be back in a few days
But that's just the way it is, you know

CHORUS:
I got a hole in my pocket

I think I met my match again
Standing round the candlelight
In the middle of this blizzard
You stood and melted all the ice

It's only love
It's only love
If only love comes round again
It will have been
Worth the ride

You were master of so many
Savior to none
I waged all of my hopes so plenty on you
Now look what I've become

Sometimes lonely is not only a word
But faces I have known

All I wanna know
Is when you go
Do you think of me

Cause I could let you go
But there'd be a hole
Where my heart used to be

It's so easy holding you near
I could melt in your arms and disappear
Loving you baby is breaking my heart tonight
It's so easy but it isn't right

I saw you today
You walked away
And I couldn't breathe

Cause I know how it will feel
It's a love so real

I want to take you down to the river
I want to wash the blood from your hands
I want to make you see
You belong to me
You won't ever win

I want to walk out over the water
I want to tear my heart from my chest
I want to change my face
Wanna leave this place
Start all over again

Well don't you know
You're wasted
You got more than you asked for
Wasted
You walk in through the out door

I feel like cherry wine
Like Valentines
Like a spring is coming
And everything is all right

I've got a love that's new
I hear you're happy too
That's the way it should be
But lately I feel like crying

I wanna get over you
But you're everywhere
And I just can't get away
I gotta get over you
Cause it's just not fair
That I still see your face

I heard your name today
I walked away

Maybe this is forever
Forever fades away
Like a rocket ascending into space
Could you not be sad
Could you not break down
After all I won't let go

Until you're safe and sound
Until you're safe and sound
There's beauty in release
There's no one left to please
But you and me

I don't blame you for quitting
I know you really tried
If only you could hang on through the night

Sunny morning
You can hear it
Siren's warning
There is weather on both sides
And I know it's coming
Just like before
There's a black dog
That scratches my door
He's been growling my name saying
You better get to running
Can you make it better for me
Can you make me see the light of day
Because I got no one
Who will bring me a
Big umbrella
So I'm watching the weather channel

Give us what you got
Girl you got a lot
Seems you got an itch that's scratching

Lay it like it plays
Play it like it lays
All your Easter eggs are hatching

In your Cadillac
Reaching for your jack
There's nothing we can tell you

Just a little queen
Dirty mouth and mean
There's nothing we can sell you

You're an original, baby
Like we've never seen before
You're an original, baby
