Lyrics:

Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again
Outside the school gates
We first met in a basement near the park
(Diamonds in the dark)
We danced all night and then we kissed
Your smile like diamonds in the dark
It's a long way to fall
When the words stray
No-one calls
We would have little children
We would be together forever
(Diamonds in the dark)
We would live on Delancy Street
Then you cut your hair
And it ended there
It's a long way to fall (long way)
When the words stray
No-one calls

Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again
Now I've nothing left to lose
Clinging to a cliff-face
Staring at your shoes
And tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you feel the same?
Or are we just waking to a day we can't
A day that we can't change
And now there's this no-mans land
Between you and me
(Diamonds in the dark)
But I still wander in between
The sheets and streets
And other places we've been
It's a long way to fall (long way to fall)
When the words stray
No-one calls (such a long way to fall)
It's a long way to fall (long way to fall)
When the words stray
No-one calls

Looking back now I regret
You're a promise that I never kept
Waiting in my room in vain
Time winds back and back again
Back and back again
Back and back again
Back and back again
Back again
