Fade as if to a whisper You tried to steal your fortune from my diamond mine Me and my lady were diamond traders On the African coast of Pomona And there never seemed to be a price to pay Until one day the dig just fell through Remember when that dig fell through And then the rains came Turning us all to green and grey Then the rains came She said how can I love you When I don't even know you no more I want to feel free to believe I want to feel free to rock your soul And watch my words fall right off your tongue Me and my lady rode the white falls down We watched the sun spin our shadows As they froze in the dust on the ground And then the rains came Turning us all to green and grey Then the rains came She said how can I love you When I don't even know you no more Taking my time down the lonely road There never seemed such a burden I could handle She said maybe I won't love you this time around Maybe I'll get mixed up Maybe we're all just scared of growing old she said That's why we cry when the rain comes down But it turns the dust to mud as the grass grows from the ground
