Jeff Buckley - Jewel Box lyrics

i'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul

come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones

my years, my life unknown

diamonds from the pavement broken glass had been.

just like these troubles that i'm leaving to the wind.

like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end.

like thieves, my bad luck grows.

jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear

crystallise illusion shine, forgot i'm here

jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear

oh, you left some stars in my belly

star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding gold

silver studs of promise hide in red crushed velvet folds.

inaction, intention, like emeralds i stole.

my speech of custom gold. i think i ought to know.

jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tears

crystallise illusion shine, forgot i'm here

jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear

oh, you left some stars in my belly.

you left some stars in my belly.

you left some stars in my belly
