You were standing in the sunshine
I really thought you were the beat
Something stood behind the shadows
I set it down in disbelief
I could overhear you asking
Oh but you didn't really care
Some surprises come with diamonds
And then my son should just beware
What can I say
It's just a matter of time
The words we crave
They just don't make a sound
We have buried them under the ground
We have buried them under the ground
I really thought you were a rainbow
You know that everyone can see
It wasn't bright enough to blind me
But something told me to believe
The desert wind was really blowing
Explaining why I shed a tear
An now I know you're not a rainbow
You're not a color I can wear
What can I say
It's just a matter of time
The words we crave
They just don't make a sound
We have buried them under the ground
We have buried them under the ground
I don't hide away from the night
When everyone's still sleeping
I don't hide away from the night
When everyone's still sleeping
What can I say
It's just a matter of time
What can I say
It's just a matter of time
The words we crave
They just don't make a sound
We have buried them under the ground
