Through the hall I was hustling
Passed a double door
it was more than familiar,
I had been there once before
No time to consider
as I took the stage
I held on to the image
like a bookmark on a blank page
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
All that I know
When the night had retired
Silent like a ledge
And my memory a jumper
Pulling me slowly off the edge
In my youth I cut roses
Pressed and tucked away
In a book I’m still meaning
To read one of these days
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
All that I know
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Not a one do I own
This is it, don’t get scared now
Cut it on my stone:
“As hard as he tried,
This man lies here alone.”
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
All that I know
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Black ties and diamonds
Not a one do I own
All that I know
Not a one do I own
All that I know
Not a one do I own
All that I know
Not a one do I own
All that I know
Not a one do I own
All that I know

Green Altar has special place in my heart, such a beautiful song with touching words. It came out shortly before our wedding and we had our first dance to it, weeks after the wedding we saw and met chelsea and she congratulated us, this song always stirs up all the emotions moises9598

Medicine is one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums I've ever had to privilege to hear. It helped me get more in touch with my own self, spirituality and nature. It certainly lives up to its name. The flutes, drumming and percussion are just wonderful. This is a great album to let play all the way through. pimblycharles
