Self-correction: The first line of the second verse is, "I cry diamonds while you burn".

***According to the original Sparklehorse version:

It is: "I cry diamonds while you burn" (and not "I grab diamonds, write you a poem"

and two picky corrections...

It is: "But now she combs her hair with blood" (and not "Where she combs her hair with blood")

It is: "Until I see you again" ... rather than "Till I see you again" ... ok that was really picky...

These corrections are again, according to the Sparklehorse original. I haven't heard the movie version in it's entirety. What a great song though! Post if you want it. I've got every Sparklehorse song!!!

The line is "by your fiery mane" Mark Linkous makes many references to horses in many of his songs and it makes sense because he is referring to his love as animals as he usually does.

As for the other line, it is "I cry diamonds and let it burn"

Just listen you will hear it. That is all.

Thank to you I finally found "shade and honey" lyrics..

Muchas gracias

instead of 'by your fiery mane' isnt it 'but your fire remains'??

Does anyone have the chords for "shade and honey"? Either for the ukulele or guitar.

i think the first line of the second verse (for shade & honey) is:

"don't cry diamonds, white bird..."

makes more sense, no?

I just saw Laurel Canyon on HBO and was compelled to buy the soundtrack. I fell in love with "Shade & Honey" and am grateful to "Froggy" for writing out the lyrics. I would love the music too so I could play this on guitar!

You asked for the lyrics to the song Shade And Honey...well, here they are. Although, the first line of the second verse, I'm not sure about...it's hard to make out over the music. A lot of the lyrics make no sense, and grammar is right out the window. But, here it is:

Alessandro Nivola - Shade & Honey

I could look in your face

For a thousand years

It’s like a civil war

Of pain and of cheer

But if you was a horse

I could help you with your chains

I could ride you through the fields

By your fiery mane

May your shade be sweet

And float upon the lakes

Where the sun will be

Made of honey

I grab diamonds, write you a poem

'Cause no one here can save you

She’s returning to the Earth

But one day she’ll be silver

Stars are dying in my chest

Till I see you again

She was born with the wings of a hawk

Where she combs her hair with blood

May your shade be sweet

And float upon the lakes

Where the sun will be

Made of honey

May your shade be sweet

And float upon the lakes

Where the sun will be

Made of honey

May your shade be sweet

May your shade be sweet

And float upon the lakes...

May your shade be sweet

can you send me "shade and honey", if found!

can you send me "shade and honey", if found!

No. Shade & Honey was written by Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, a very fine and wonderful band that I recommend highly.

has anyone gotten the lyrics down online for "shade and honey"? thanks.

The song is "Shade and Honey," lyric and music by Lou Barlow, sung by Alessandro Nivola. It's the song his character writes during the film. It's on the soundtrack.
