emmylou harris - diamond in my crown lyrics
as each long day rolls by and falls behind me
in the lonely night there’s a peacefulness i’ve found
though i’m weary even then when i rise to start again
there’ll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
i have wasted all that life has laid before me
i have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
but i shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now
there’ll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
shinning down some day i know brighter than all their streets of gold
when the burdens that i carry i will lay down
and the sorrows i have known i’ll see them all be overthrown
there’ll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
through the p-ssing of the years i will grow stronger
just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round
then the closer i will be to my sweetest victory
there’ll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
