Fern Hollow - Opal Lyrics

If my words could turn to diamonds I wouldn't make a ring
Because I know that opal's more your kind of thing
Opal ain't so pretty, that's what some folks say
But who the hell would ever want a diamond anyway

I'd sell all the diamonds that I've been writing for
All to keep a smile on the face that I adore
A home in the country might give you peace of mind
So I'll keep on writing till diamonds I find

If these songs are the only way to get us out these hills
Then here before my guitar I will yield
Words can be like diamonds and not mean a thing
This time I will try to write an opal that you can sing

That you can sing

If I had a dollar for every time I thought I knew
Then I wouldn't sing of diamonds, I'd just sing for you
You don't like to hear the truth, I know this is true
So I won't sing about all the things we lived through

Leave all those dark thoughts of when love will end
Give me all of you, dear, and we can pretend
For you will call me Midas, my strings will turn to gold
And these words turned opal will be under your control

If this song is the only way to tell you how I feel
Then here before my guitar I will yield
Words can be like diamonds and not mean a thing
This time I will try to write an opal that you can sing

If this song is the only way to tell you how I feel
Then here before my guitar I will yield
Words can be like diamonds and not mean a thing
This time I will try to write an opal that you can sing

That you can sing
That you can sing

If this song is the only way to tell you how I feel
Then here before my guitar I will yield
Words can be like diamonds and not mean a thing
This time I will try to write an opal that you can sing

That you can sing
