Spencer Burton - Diamond lyrics

If you were a diamond Would I find you in the dirt Just laying with the other coal But still fragile in your worth At 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 At 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 At 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
