Fade as if to a whisper    You tried to steal your fortune from my diamond mine    Me and my lady were diamond traders    On the African coast of Pomona    And there never seemed to be a price to pay    Until one day the dig just fell through    Remember when that dig fell through       And then the rains came    Turning us all to green and grey    Then the rains came    She said how can I love you    When I don't even know you no more      I want to feel free to believe    I want to feel free to rock your soul    And watch my words fall right off your tongue    Me and my lady rode the white falls down    We watched the sun spin our shadows    As they froze in the dust on the ground       And then the rains came    Turning us all to green and grey    Then the rains came    She said how can I love you    When I don't even know you no more      Taking my time down the lonely road    There never seemed such a burden I could handle    She said maybe I won't love you this time around    Maybe I'll get mixed up    Maybe we're all just scared of growing old she said    That's why we cry when the rain comes down    But it turns the dust to mud as the grass grows from the ground
