David Gray - Fixative Lyrics

If there's a diamond in my mind
Will it dwindle down to naught
Or will it always be defined
If I can fix it with my heart

So I'm returning to the place
That I might look into your eyes
And look so hard that I can taste
That winter sun that never sets

That swallow caught up in the nets
The perfect chorus when it hits
Don't slam the door, boy
When you leave

Was heading northward when I saw
That empty house out in the mist
And there are traces left for sure
On every mouth you ever kissed

So I'm returning to the word
[Incomprehensible] between the lines
Where I might dutifully record
The blue within your seagull stare

That funny ways you had to care
For every little thing beyond compare
Don't slam the door, boy
When you leave

So now I'm calling in the gulf
And you went walking with the wolf
Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself
And don't slam the door now
When you leave

The strangest foe we ever faced
Is stalking every stage you graced
Is crushing diamonds into paste

Don't slam the door, boy
When you leave
Don't slam the door boy
When you leave
