Marissa Nadler (born April 5, 1981) is an American dream-folk , indie rock musician, and fine artist based in Boston. She grew up in a small town in Massachusetts. She studied painting at Rhode Island School of Design but song-writing became her favored artistic outlet. While exploring old artistic techniques such as woodcarving and encaustic painting, she also began to hone her songwriting craft. She is a self taught guitarist, who as a teenager learned to play in a style similar to Travis picking, playing a steady bass pattern with the thumb and filling out syncopated rhythms with the fingers. She is also self taught as a singer. Wikipedia

Marissa Nadler - Diamond Heart

So do you know I'm a dancer now With red painted lips, and a jezebel crown So have you heard, I'm a singer now With reliquary eyes, and a diadem frown
But I look for you In the diamond trees And the highway divine Deliver me Your father died A month ago And he scattered his ashes In the snow
But oh my lonely diamond heart It misses you so well Oh my lonely diamond heart It misses you oh well
I had a man in every town And I thought of you each time I tore off my gown Changes have come And I cannot recall The shape of your face Through the winters and falls
But I look for you In the traffic seas And the bars I'm always frequenting Your father died Some months ago And we scattered his ashes In the snow
Holidays are the hardest hours of the year Holidays are the hardest hours of the year Holidays are the hardest hours of the year
And oh my lonely diamond heart It misses you my dear
She gave me a bird Made out of clay So I never will forget her And he gave me a book Made out of wood To fasten all The emblems She gave me a bird Made out of clay So I never will forget her
But oh my lonely diamond heart It misses you so well And oh my lonely diamond heart It misses you oh well
