diamond for a dime - oysterband lyrics
on a corner by the station a man is talking right out loud
trying to make a pitch, trying to pull a crowd
people hurry past him, they will not give him time
he’s holding out a diamond and the price is just one dime
he isn’t selling jesus, he isn’t selling c0ke
board-boys are muttering, “is this some kinda joke?”
all these travellers, all this p-ssing time
he’s holding out the diamond and the price is just one dime
chorus
well, he’s a crook or he’s crazy
so the story goes
but the diamond is real
and only one man knows
and if i say i love you
do you want to buy a diamond for a dime?
and if i say i love you
do you want to buy a diamond for a dime?
night falls on the station and on your heart’s desire
the diamond in the darkness, a messenger of fire
don’t throw that stone away, you better understand
it’s my whole life you’re holding in the palm of your hand
chorus
love might be a miner digging in the dark
love might be a hustler hunting for a mark
love might be a singer looking for a rhyme
love might be priceless but the price is still one dime
chorus
