lyrics

4) No Diamonds - m.litton

Chorus: I don’t send no diamonds, I don’t send no gold
I don’t send no diamons ‘n I don’t send no gold
And I’ll never buy a fur coat to keep you from the cold
Ah but babe, I love you, I’ll come runnin’ on back home

There are those who compare your beauty to a queen
They see you as a distant one as in some misty dream
And they can never hold you, they’ll never bar the door
When you see my ship return, babe
When you feel my surf beatin’ on your shore
(chorus)

There are those who worry of what tomorrow may bring
But I don’t ever hurry, I just sit here ‘n sing
Since we went into that gypsy wood
Where your flesh was so naked and so good
You touched my heart ‘n said to me
“There ain’t no further mystery…”
(chorus)

Now I could never whisper as through a garden wall
For when I get too near to you I wanna howl ‘n call
Like a warrior or a wolf man
Babe, I’m the storm upon your land
Let’s crawl into that river’s moon
And draw its silk about our hot cocoon

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
