Standing Next to a Diamond

out the window of a train, tree lines forever
 all the kitchen table lights sort of blend together
 (but) in this picture i can still feel the weather
 it's the kind of cold makes you too numb to care
 the coffee is warm but the whiskey's right there
 i'm standing next to a diamond in the middle of nowhere
 this is one in a million
 things i remember golden
 memory's a luxury leaves a little room for delusion
 like a theater dark on monday, in a room designed for you
 there's a grand piano and your chosen muse
 i'm on the verge of something true
 in the drizzle in the snow
 i always try to get back to this moon
 the sky is only thing i know, hasn't changed
 the devil's in the details and i forget names
 i still see faces in dreams
 it's funny the things that used to keep me from sleeping
 don't stay out, you, too late don't stay up all night
 i've been taking all your good advice
 push a button and we will remember this
 pictures say a thousand words
 words we say cannot be seen
 if you blink an eye you just might miss something
 and there is much to be learned
 your dog taught me something i didn't know
 i wouldn't know it for years
 i am not alone in this world
 i am not alone in this world
 i'm standing next to a diamond in the middle of nowhere
