Ive got diamonds in my backyard they grow just like weeds
Youll come and gather them in bundles, take all that you need
But save the flowers theyre for me dear, take the diamonds for your greed
Because the flowers dont grow like weeds
Glory, glory
Hallelujah, Im lost and shes found
Another lover, to give her shelter when the fields have turned brown
Another kind man, to warm her when the snow finds the ground
The only girl, that made the world go round
There are some thing worth remembering
Others left for time to come and weather, and to change
In the winds of your mind
But dont forget me while your leaving
Because its all that I borrowed from time
Now Its Sunday, early evening
I rise for the day and brush a long hair from the pillow
On my bed where she would lay
And in the back yard forgotten flowers all fading away
To bloom in other lovers back yards someday
To bloom in other lovers back yards someday
