Does anyone know where I can find the REAL lyrics. I did a search and i'm pretty sure he doesn't say "pull these diamonds from the saint's attack" lol check it out real dumb person did the lyrics they're everywhere ps its obviously "the sands of time"
Someone light up the sunset, with my heart Come find me and save me, ‘neath the stars All I wanted was a memory Come pull some diamonds from the sands of time I mean, come on, let’s face it, we ain’t that young Let’s paint this town red, with our blood All I wanted was a good time But I don’t have fun if I ain’t with you Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’ Well I’ve been loveless much too long Sing one for the soldiers that defend my heart ‘Cause she defeats them slowly with precision charm All I wanted was my freedom But I don’t feel free if I ain’t with you Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’ Well I’ve been loveless much too long Burn up my ticket, ashes to the wind Cut my ties open, slash them with your grin All I wanted was a sense of place But I don’t feel home if I ain’t with you Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’ Well I’ve been loveless much too long Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’ Well I’ve been loveless much too long Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’ Well I’ve been loveless much too long
Thanks Matt, wish Canada (the world for that matter) knew what we've got with you! Thanks for the music!
There are us in Chicago who love your guy and wish he were our own! You have a treasure in Matt Mays!
I love this live version, it seems to have so much more heart in it when played live.
This song really helped my brother, father and I cope with the loss of my Mother, Thanks Matt.
Tears in my eyes, I love this so much.

Someone light up the sunset, with my heart
Come find me and save me, ‘neath the stars
All I wanted was a memory
Come pull some diamonds from the sands of time
I mean, come on, let’s face it, we ain’t that young
Let’s paint this town red, with our blood
All I wanted was a good time
But I don’t have fun if I ain’t with you
Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’
Well I’ve been loveless much too long
Sing one for the soldiers that defend my heart
‘Cause she defeats them slowly with precision charm
All I wanted was my freedom
But I don’t feel free if I ain’t with you
Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’
Well I’ve been loveless much too long
Burn up my ticket, ashes to the wind
Cut my ties open, slash them with your grin
All I wanted was a sense of place
But I don’t feel home if I ain’t with you
Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’
Well I’ve been loveless much too long
Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’
Well I’ve been loveless much too long
Under the stars, the stars a-shinin’
Well I’ve been loveless much too long
Thank you for posting the lyrics. Beautiful, yearning song.
Probably Canada's most underrated songwriter...move over Neil Young, there's a new horse for the next generation of canucks to grow old with
