Looking back now I regret   You're a promise that I never kept   Waiting in my room in vain   Time winds back and back again      Outside the school gates   We first met in a basement near the park   (Diamonds in the dark)   We danced all night and then we kissed   Your smile like diamonds in the dark      It's a long way to fall   When the words stray, no one calls      We would have little children   We would be together forever   (Diamonds in the dark)   We would live on Delancy Street   But then you cut your hair and it ended there      It's a long way to fall   When the words stray, no one calls      Looking back now I regret   You're a promise that I never kept   Waiting in my room in vain   Time winds back and back again      Now I've nothing left to lose   I'm clinging to a cliff-face staring at your shoes   And tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me do you feel the same?   Or are we just waiting to a day we can't   A day that we can't change, we can't change?      And now there's this no man's land   Between you and me   (Diamonds in the dark)   But I still wander in between   The sheets and streets and other places we've been      It's a long way to fall   When the words stray, no one calls      Looking back now I regret   You're a promise that I never kept   Waiting in my room in vain   Time winds back and back again      Back and back again, back and back again   Back and back again, back and back again   Back and back again, back and back again   Back again
