Diamonds And Gold Lyrics

Diamonds And Gold

Broken glass, rusty nails where the wild violets grow
Say goodbye to the
railroad, the mad dogs of summer
And everything that I know


What
some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for
gold
They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
And sleep by the side
of the road


There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can
climb
Mad as a hatter, you're thin as a dime
Go out to the meadow, the
hills are a-green
Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream


Small-time
Napoleon's shattered his knees
But he stays in the saddle for Rose
And
all his disciples, they shave in the gutter
And they gather what's left of
his clothes


What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men
will do here for gold
They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
And
sleep by the side of the road
