You were crystal in the highlands Buried deep in silence So I went in search of all of that Diamond In hopes to see you shining I saw you all bright but your beauty was dark as coal I searched through all the words, I could find The only word I found was time I packed it in my bag and gave it to you Well it didn't cost much but I couldn't buy it back from you I tried to brush beneath the grime in Hopes that you were hiding Then time sent the sun around the sky At least a hundred nights and Your beauty bright was worth nothing more than showed I searched through all the words, I could find The only word I found was time I packed it in my bag and gave it to you Well it didn't cost much but I couldn't buy it back from you All that time Was just a map Drew those lines They circled back Now it's all just stolen away It's all just stolen away Well it didn't cost much but I couldn't buy it back from you
