Ttds Recurring Dream Lyrics by Terence Trent Darby

Ttds Recurring Dream

Diamonds in the rain

In the first dream you were a driver
And i was a car, we didn't get real far
We took a highway full of black top roadkill
Could that be me?
Could that be you?
[could that be me?]

In the 2nd dream you were a rifle
And i was a deer but with no shelter near
You were camouflaged
In pain i couldn't see through
Could that be me?
Could that be you?
[could that be me?]

The slow striptease of time
Releases now the seven veils
And ages of sweet wanderlust
Steals about a half step from my stride
And hold me now accountable



And throws a finger at my trust
And barks like a big dog at my pride
But shows me diamonds in the rain
Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till i die
Diamonds in the rain

In this recurring dream
You said you were lonely
I said everyone's lonely
And not just you
Some people just hide their loneliness
Behind the coats of others
Could that be me?
Could that be you?
[could that be me?]

Please don't let that be me and you!

Diamonds in the rain that'll sparkle till i die
Diamonds in the rain
