Jeff Buckley Jewel Box lyrics

I know you are a woman by the way you burn below
I'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul
Come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown

Diamonds from the pavement, where the broken glass had been
Just like this 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
Crystallize illusion to 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 golds
Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds
In action and intention, like emeralds I stole
My speech of custom gold

I think I ought to know
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Crystallize illusion 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
