This road walks long As you reach for the charms of night's heart Flog down another ride And head for another sky's new spark You need it cause it's all you want now tonight The road of diamonds blind her out of sight now tonight The further you stride The magnet of her eyes restrain you You feel the heavy weight As your lonesome heartache floors you Unconscious in your winded mind you cry You're counted out before the prize Has had a chance to steal your eyes Suddenly you figure out The picture fades along with the sounds When she's not around, when she's not around I need her to lay me down I found my way home And I walked a bad road to your heart Your heart's an empire But all I desire is just one spark I need you cause you're all I have now tonight
