lyrics

I prayed for diamond rings
And diamond rings is what I got
I asked for secret things
And secret things is what I got

I basked in days of pleasure
And things you cannot measure
But I never made my peace
With you
With you
With you
With you

I mocked your golden wings
But golden wings can help you soar
If I make it through the door
Then through this door I'll some no more

I drowned in days of sun
And though the nights were fun
I never made my peace
With you
With you
With you
With you

I prayed for all these things
But all these things I held too dear
I fear these ancient things
'Cause ancient things will hold me here

I basked in days of pleasure
And things you cannot measure
But I never made my peace
With you
With you
With you
With you

I saw your face so pale
A face so pale should know no fear
Now I pray for smaller things
'Cause smaller things will keep you near

When lightning falls through heaven
Each hope from life is driven
'Cause I never made my peace with you
With you
With you
With you
