Diamond

Diamond - Spencer Burton

If you were a diamond

Would I find you in the dirt

Just laying with the other coal

But still fragile in your worth

The times you're just as dark

And I don't understand

How you call yourself my woman

Though you won't take my hand

And if you were a ruby

Would you glisten bright red

Would you melt away the eyes of god

And leave humanity for dead

The times you're just as bright

If I leave within the dirt

Now your covered by a worldly weight

My ashes dead and burned

We spent nights in angry and lust

We spend nights in demand

And you still call yourself my woman

Though you won't take my hand

And all this time

Oh I never known

That you're no precious gem

Just a block of stone

If you were a sapphire

Would you take away my blues

Would you place them with the blues you hold

Show your colours true

The times you're just as cold

And I don't understand

How you call yourself my woman

Though you won't take my hand

And all this time

Oh I never known

That you're no precious gem

Just a block of stone

And all this time

I never known
