Some days are diamonds Some days are rocks Some doors are open Some roads are blocked Sundowns are golden Then fade away But if i never do nothing I'll get you back some day [Chorus] Cause you got a heart so big It could crush this town And i can't hold out forever Even walls fall down And all around your island There's a barricade It keeps out the danger It holds in the pain Sometimes you're happy Sometimes you cry Half of me is ocean Half of me is sky [Chorus] And some things are over Some things go on And part of me you carry Part of me is gone [Chorus] They fall down
