Cohen Leonard Diamonds In The Mine Lyrics

Diamonds In The Mine Lyrics

The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge,
the man in white -- that's you
-- says he has no friends.
The river is swollen up with rusty cans
and
the trees are burning in your promised land.

And there are no letters in
the mailbox,
and there are no grapes upon the vine,
and there are no
chocolates in the boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in the
mine.

Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb,
you say
you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him.
Well, I saw the man
in question, it was just the other night,
he was eating up a lady where the
lions and Christians fight.

And there are no letters in the
mailbox
and there are no grapes upon the vine,
and there are no
chocolates in the boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in the
mine.

(You tell them now)

Ah, there is no comfort in the covens
of the witch,
some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch,
and
the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride,
he trained a hundred
women just to kill an unborn child.

And there are no letters in the
mailbox,
oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine,
and there are,
there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in
your mine.
And there are no letters in the mailbox,
and there are no
grapes upon the vine,
and there are no chocolates in your boxes
anymore,
and there are no diamonds in your mine.
