Jeff Buckley - Jewel Box
from the album "Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk"
I know you're a woman by the way you burn below.
I'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul.
Come closer, my bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown.
Diamonds from the pavement where the broken glass had been.
Just like these troubles that I'm leaving to the wind.
Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end.
Like thieves, my bad luck grows.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Crystallized illusions shine, forgot I'm here.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly.
Star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding gold
Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds.
Inaction, intention, like emeralds I stole.
My speech of costumed gold.
I think I ought to know.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear.
Crystallized illusions shine, forgot I'm here.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly.
You left some stars in my belly.
You left some stars in my belly.
