Fade as if to a whisper 

You tried to steal your fortune from my diamond mine 

Me and my lady were diamond traders 

On the African coast of Pomona 

And there never seemed to be a price to pay 

Until one day the dig just fell through 

Remember when that dig fell through 



And then the rains came 

Turning us all to green and grey 

Then the rains came 

She said how can I love you 

When I don't even know you no more 



I want to feel free to believe 

I want to feel free to rock your soul 

And watch my words fall right off your tongue 

Me and my lady rode the white falls down 

We watched the sun spin our shadows 

As they froze in the dust on the ground 



And then the rains came 

Turning us all to green and grey 

Then the rains came 

She said how can I love you 

When I don't even know you no more 



Taking my time down the lonely road 

There never seemed such a burden I could handle 

She said maybe I won't love you this time around 

Maybe I'll get mixed up 

Maybe we're all just scared of growing old she said 

That's why we cry when the rain comes down 

But it turns the dust to mud as the grass grows from  the ground
