Lyrics
I wore diamonds for the birth of your baby
For the birth of your son
On the same day my husband-to-be
Packed his things to run
Was bittersweet, to say the least
One life begins, one comes undone
I've always been a strong woman of faith
Strong like a tree, but the unlucky one
I'm going down now
With all of my
Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory almonds
I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they?
They said that love was enough, but it wasn't
The earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire but we were wooden
I wore diamonds for the day of our wedding
For our day in the sun
On the same day my mother-to-be
Said she wouldn't come
It's always been that way with me
No time for change, no time for fun
It's always been that way, it seems
One love begins, one comes undone
I'm going down now
With all of my
Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory almonds
I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they?
They said that love was enough, but it wasn't
The earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire but we were wooden
All of my, all of my fine china
All of my, all of my fine china
All of my, all of my fine china
Blue
All of my, all of my fine china
All of my, all of my fine china
All of my, all of my fine china
Blue
Fine china and fresh linen
All of my dresses with them tags still on them
Fine china and dull silver
My white horses and my ivory almonds
I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they?
They said that love was enough, but it wasn't
The earth shattered, the sky opened
The rain was fire but we were wooden
Fine china, fine china, fine china
Fresh linen, fresh linen, fresh linen
(Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh)
