Like Diamonds Lyrics

he snow looked like diamonds
Falling through the bones of the aspens
And time slowed down
We could see only as deep
As flickers from the blue porch light could reach
We stared out
With no doubt
It went on for miles
But my god there is darkness
More and more with our progress
It runs in our blood
But then some promised fortune
Gives our reticent lungs instructions
To gather and drain
And gather and drain
And fight death all day
With our hope
