leonard cohen - diamonds in the mine (live at the isle of wight) lyrics

Loading...

they gave me some money for my sad and famous song
they said ‘the crowd is waiting; hurry up or they’ll be gone’
but i could not change my style, and i guess i never will
so i sing this for the poison snakes on devastation hill

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

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 b-tch
and the only man of energy, yes the revolution’s pride
he trained a hundred women just to k!ll 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
