lyrics

so much coming in 
I do not know where to begin
i just follow the lead you're pulling 
and i get lost in your trail

so much more to tell
you just ask me if i’m doing well
i do not know, what the hell
i just swallow hard

in your eyes
(black diamonds)
i could die
(black diamonds)
in your eyes
(black diamonds)
i could die
i wake up in a cold sweat on the ceiling
terrified of what your love’s revealing 

so much you can see 
should i let you make a woman of me
should i let you take the mystery from me
see the inside of my room at night

sometimes you will find
things i did not know how to leave behind
i’ve been grappling with my own mind
stuck inside a jail

in your eyes
(black diamonds)
i could die
(black diamonds)
in your eyes
(black diamonds)
i could die
i wake up in a cold sweat on the ceiling
terrified of what your love’s revealing 

the cold of winter warms my blood 
and he’s hot like a bed of steel
finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whippoorwill
i could follow close behind and then slowly disappear
but i could never leave him
i could never leave him
i could never leave him
i could never leave him

in your eyes
(black diamonds)
i could die
(black diamonds)
in your eyes
(black diamonds)
i could die
i wake up in a cold sweat on the ceiling

so much more to do
come on let me make a man out of you
i can gather you and you tell the truth
you can cry inside my arms like a baby
you can cry inside my arms like a child
you can cry 
you can cry 
cry
cry

about

Big Thief Brooklyn, New York

Listening to Big Thief is like the feeling of looking at a dog and suddenly marveling that it is like you but very not like you; when you are accustomed to looking at a dog and thinking 'dog', watching Big Thief is like forgetting the word 'dog' and looking at that naked animal and getting much closer to it and how different it is to you. ... more
