The Gray Havens
Diamonds and Gold
[Verse 1]
Well, our souls had desire
Then a fire that we finally found
Yeah, in darkness and cold if you hold it it’ll never go out
Then we stumbled on some treasure
And started diggin' underground, whoa
When we laid down the flame
We didn’t notice when the fire went out
And now we’re going down

[Chorus]
We started, started with soul
Now we’re chasin' diamonds and gold
Let’s throw ’em into the night
They’ll say we’re crazy, that’s fine
They’ll say we’re out of our minds
Well tell ’em, tell ’em alright
If the world is all
We got then alright, alright but it’s not
Do what you want
Just remember diamonds and gold
And soul, they fight

[Verse 2]
It was dark it was cold
Having gold couldn’t stop the night
It turns out treasure only shimmers and glimmers
When it’s under a fire
So we tried to relight and find a way to ignite it
Nothing satisfied it 'til we let it all go to the floor
And with the gold on the ground
We heard the beautiful sound
Of the spark and the flame and the roar
[Chorus]
We started, started with soul
Now we’re chasin' diamonds and gold
Let’s throw ’em into the night
They’ll say we’re crazy, that’s fine
They’ll say we’re out of our minds
Well tell ’em, tell ’em alright
If the world is all
We got then alright, alright but it’s not
Do what you want
Just remember diamonds and gold
And soul, they fight

[Bridge]
So take it back to the soul
Burnin' with the fire, with the fire that we felt before
Take it back to desire
Let it bloom, let it grow, if it’s on top of the moon take it higher
Take it back to the soul
Burnin' with the fire, with the fire that we felt before
Take it back to desire
Let it bloom, let it grow, if it’s on top of the moon take it higher

[Pre-Chorus]
We started-started, we started-started, we started-started
We started-started, we started-started, we started
[Chorus]
We started, started with soul
Now we’re chasin' diamonds and gold
Let’s throw ’em into the night
They’ll say we’re crazy, that’s fine
They’ll say we’re out of our minds
Well tell ’em, tell ’em alright
If the world is all
We got then alright, alright but it’s not
Do what you want
Just remember diamonds and gold and soul
And diamonds and gold and soul, the fight

We started, started with soul
Now we’re chasin' diamonds and gold
Let’s throw ’em into the night
They’ll say we’re crazy, that’s fine
They’ll say we’re out of our minds
Well tell ’em, tell ’em alright
If the world is all
We got then alright, alright but it’s not
Do what you want
Just remember diamonds and gold and soul, they fight
