Diamonds In The Mine (Album Version)

diamonds in the mine - leonard cohen
the woman in blue,
she's asking for revenge,
the man in white
that's you
says he has no friends.
the river is swollen up with rusty cans
and the trees are burning
in your promised land.
and there are no letters in the mailbox,
and there are no grapes upon the vine,
and there are no chocolates
in the boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in the mine.
and there are no diamonds in the mine.
well, you tell me that your lover
has a broken limb,
you say you're kind of restless now
and it's on account of him.
well, i saw the man in question,
it was just the other night,
he was eating up a lady
where the lions and christians fight.
and there are no letters in the mailbox
and there are no grapes upon the vine,
and there are no chocolates
in the boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in the mine.
(you tell them now)
and there are no diamonds in the mine.
ah, there is no comfort
in the covens of the witch,
some very clever doctor went
and sterilized the bitch,
and the only man of energy,
yes the revolutions pride,
he trained a hundred women
just to kill an unborn child.
and there are no letters in the mailbox,
oh no, there are no,
no grapes upon your vine,
and there are,
there are no chocolates
in your boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in your mine,
and there are no letters in the mailbox,
and there are no grapes upon the vine,
and there are no chocolates
in your boxes anymore,
and there are no diamonds in your mine.
and there are no diamonds in the mine.
