Diamonds And Cigarettes

(album: Electro Melodier - 2021)

We've stood at the gate
Time and time again tempting fate
We've been through the powerful flows
Pulled together how many times
God only knows

All the hard lessons with no regrets
We're still diamonds and cigarettes

We've thought the same thoughts of the soul
With books and songs we've lived the open road
Secondhand cars and making the rent
And the unjust world that never seems to make sense

All the hard lessons with no regrets
We're still diamonds and cigarettes

For all the dreams we've lost and left
We're still diamonds and cigarettes

Diners, busses and trains
Show the lessons of the falling rain
The highway won't let you grow old
We're all survivors on the long road home

Never let the drumbeats tell you different
Or rattle your core
Time heals what it can
Till you're over the barrel no more

All the hard lessons with no regrets
We're still diamonds and cigarettes

For all the dreams we've lost and left
We're still diamonds and cigarettes

All these dreams we're riding
