[Intro: Fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft melodic bassline] [Female 1 Lead: Contralto, f0=160Hz, breathy raspy tone, expressive prosody] [Verse 1] Listen to the wind blow down the lonely street Golden feathers falling softly at my feet I saw a crystal vision in the pale moonlight Taking away the darkness of the night [Chorus] Oh, diamond dreams, they slip away Like the pouring rain on a summer day You cannot hold on to what is meant to fly Just let the tears fall from your eye [Interlude: Melodic bass groove] [Verse 2] Gypsy woman singing a familiar tune Dancing all alone beneath the silver moon She tells a story of a love that turned to rust Everything we built returning to the dust [Female 1 Lead & Male Tenor Harmony: Perfect pneumophonoarticulatory coordination] [Chorus] Oh, diamond dreams, they slip away Like the pouring rain on a summer day You cannot hold on to what is meant to fly Just let the tears fall from your eye [Guitar Solo: Clean, melodic, driving rhythm] [Female 1 Lead: High vocal tension, dramatic variation] [Bridge] And if you see my face again Will you remember how it all began? The crystal breaks, the spell is gone But the diamond dreams carry on [Outro] They carry on Diamond dreams [Fade out with acoustic guitar strum]
