Alphabet City Lyrics - 1987

[ Buy Alphabet City ]

Knifing my way through a diamond mine

Dragging those rocks

From seabed to shoreline

Rubies and sapphires on emerald bay

Stretching across the milky way

One day... one day



Prospecting gold and staking my claim

But the only thing i treasure

Is hearing your name

Most everyone dreams diamonds and furs

I dream of love and baby its yours

One day... one day



One day you'll realise

You'll see it on her eyes

No room for alibis - one day... one day...

One day you'll realise

Feel me materialise

You'll see your just a fool to leave me

One day... one day... one day soon baby



They say that your life is an open book

Well i just wrote a chapter so take a look

Can't blame it on fate or destiny

Now that your book... it features me

One day... one day



One day you'll realise

You'll see it in her eyes

No room for alibis - one day... one day...

One day you'll realise

Feel me materialise

You'll see your just a fool to leave me

One day... one day... one day soon baby



Hardly a day goes by without me thinking of you

No matter how hard i try you can't escape a dream

Living my life - in the lap of luxury

Living my life - confuse me... confuse me babee



One day you'll realise

I'll see it in your eyes

No room for compromise - one day... one day...

One day you'll realise

Feel me materialise

You'll see your just a fool to leave me



You can't shake a dream - how i wish that you could

One day your mine get that understood

Until then each night i shall pray

For a love that lasts forever and...

One day... one day
