Buckley Jeff Jewel Box Lyrics

Jewel Box Lyrics

i know you're a woman by the way you burn below

 i'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul 

 come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones 

 my years, my life unknown 

 

 diamonds from the pavement broken glass had been. 

 just like these troubles that i'm leaving to the wind.

 like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end. 

 like thieves, my bad luck grows.

 

 jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear

 crystallise illusion shine, forgot i'm here 

 jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear

 oh, you left some stars in my belly

 

 star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding gold

 silver studs of promise hide in red crushed velvet folds. 

 inaction, intention, like emeralds i stole. 

 my speech of custom gold. i think i ought to know.

 

 jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tears

 crystallise illusion shine, forgot i'm here 

 jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear 

 oh, you left some stars in my belly.

 

 you left some stars in my belly.

 

 you left some stars in my belly.
