Then a man appeared before me
Though I try, I can′t deny
That he had my father′s face and hands
But his eyes shone like the sky
He said my son, you come too soon
You better get on outta here
You know I'd let you stay but ′round here
A day is much like a thousand years
And your heart it's like a diamond
It splits the light in two
And you′ll only shine for a certain time
Until you're swallowed up in blue
