Simple Minds

I feel you, there's no need to search
And I hear you from so far away
There's a town that's beyond this place
And there's a space 'cause you're not here

Or could I be wrong?
Imagination strikes
I hear those uneven songs
Returning like ghosts in flight

[Chorus]
Once we were lovers
Once we were pure as friends
Once we were blood
Diamonds to the end

Do you hear when the world descends?
Let's make truth once again

[Bridge]
Or could I be wrong?
Could there be other ways?
Or could I be wrong?
You can't untrain the heart

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, once we were lovers
Once we were true as friends
Once we were blood
Diamonds to the end
Diamonds to the end

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]
