Oh sure, there was love And of course I thought it'd be my salvation And in a way, I guess he was There's always room for higher education Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways But I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn To keep from losing what I've learned along the way These dreams of mine, these precious years Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears E A A A E A.
