Sell Me a Diamond He wanted to sell me a diamond He said it was conflict free Was such a beautiful concept That such a thing could be See it shining on the velvet Faceted fire lying there While I listen to a couple arguing Three feet behind my chair Bitterness soaks their voices It's been riding them for years Anger they keep on carrying Old hurt words in their ears Sell me a diamond, I have to know If this transaction is the key to letting go Empty my pockets, you'll find a ring Is there a crime if no one loses anything Sell me a diamond, one fluid moment And seven crows above could be an omen Sell me a diamond I'll just stop watching news I guess You know that would be a gift Just listen to children laughing And give myself a lift And maybe I'll see somebody Kind to someone in the street And I will give this gift to The next diamond soul I meet Sell me a diamond, one fluid moment You know seven crows above could be an omen Empty my pockets, you'll find a ring Is there a crime if no one loses anything Sell me a diamond, I have to know If this transaction is the key to letting go Sell me a diamond Makes conflict free sound good to me Makes conflict free sound good to me Makes conflict free sound good to me Makes conflict free sound good to me David Crosby Sky Trails 2017 |
