I met you at a party
or on a crowded street
a silent singularity
when glances chanced to meet
You looked into my glasses
said you'd seen a ghost
tried my best to make you smile
as we calypsoed close
I had been to Cleveland
You had been to jail
You seemed to be recovering
but I felt a little pale
Our house it was on seventeenth
above the hardware store
there we lived with seven cats
all named for in seven dwarves
but like leaves and kings
all things must fall
no diamond ring is gonna
cut through it all
you were working as a graverobber
you could do your job at night
I was living hand-to-mouth
just looking for a fight
the reason why we parted
it ain't that hard to find
I was always busy
and you never had the time
well the reason why we parted
it ain't that hard to see
but I was never sure
if I left you or you left me
but like leaves and kings
all things must fall
no diamond ring is gonna
cut through it all
and when it was all over
I lost myself in work
you got married to a lawyer
painting murals in new york
and though it seems a million miles ago
since I saw the light
the hours flowed by nervously
like warships in the night
Many times I've been corrupted
but I've never been in love
and I began to realize
that that's just where I was
so I packed up my possessions
and caught an eastbound train
met you in ohio
sleeping in the rain
but like leaves and kings
all things must fall
no diamond ring is gonna
cut through it all
so now we're going back again
to start where we began
with rules and regulations
but no real kinda plan
I learned my lesson well
with no mistakes at all
once you find yourself true love
you just keep holding on
like leaves and kings
all things must fall
no diamond ring is gonna
cut through it all
but now out of the dark
out of the blue
like leaves and kings
I've fallen in love with you
