Cut Like A Diamond

Strawbs - Cut Like A Diamond



I was born

In the calm before the storm

In the quiet hour of dawn

With the full moon in my eyes.



I was kissed

By the rolling river mist

That betrayed the lovers' tryst

A mysterious disguise.



Cut like a diamond

Sharper than steel

Sweet as the razor's edge

Before the jagged wheel.



I am lost

I have sold my heart at cost

On the bridges that we crossed

I have carved my name in stone.



Bitter wife

You have cut me like a knife

I could never take a life

That could never take its own.



I was born

In the calm before the storm

In the quiet hour of dawn

With the full moon in my eyes.

I will die

With the sun high in the sky

With the river rolling by

Far below the bridge of sighs.
