lyrics

There you go again
You open your mouth and out comes a flock of birds
Filling the air
enchanting us all with the wit on the wings of your words
like the man
who could turn straw into gold
you’re making a diamond from pieces of coal.

There you go again
Pushing you pencil to places that I’ve never been
and taking me there
taking me off of the page and right into the scene
with a word
you can make any tale unfold
because you’re making a diamond from pieces of coal.

I want it
You make it sing
I covet
your pair of wings
Astounded
Although I try
I’m grounded
At least I get to watch you fly.

There you go again
you open your arms and you take me in your embrace
friendship so rare
telling me how much I mean from the look on your face
and you know
it is written on your soul
you always will be making a diamond from pieces of coal.
