Diamonds and Shadows

You appeared from nowhere
Without any warning
A real life Jack-in-the-box
Bustling your way through
Scattering the crowd
All blazing hair and Bobby-socks
Diamonds and shadows
Behind your eyes
Blazing hair and Bobby-socks
A frown on your face
That's far too old
The smile on your lips gently mocks
Still you had a sense of wonder
An insatiable curiousity
That led you towards
Every success, every blunder
And still you couldn't see

Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes
Diamonds and shadows, surprise, surprise
Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes
Diamonds and shadows

Like a human pinball
A hirsute dynamo
Ordered from pillar to post
By the child within
Hardly having time to catch your breath
But little did you know
Blazing hair and Bobby-socks
Won't deter life's pains and blows
There'll come a time maybe soon
When the diamonds no longer
Outnumber the shadows

Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes
Diamonds and shadows, surprise, surprise
Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes
Diamonds and shadows

Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes
Diamonds and shadows, surprise, surprise
Diamonds and shadows behind your eyes
Diamonds and shadows

Behind your eyes
