ARE DIAMONDS FOREVER? He said I will love you forever Stars in her eyes She danced to the rhythm Are diamonds forever?
He said I will take you to the stars And build you castles of gold She lived amongst the finery Of his skillful words
Now tis past the witching hour The birds roost The moon silvers Her lonely watch She heard his Drunken shuffle home Her tears as bright As the diamonds He said are forever The bills pile And mock the Promise of furs Unqualified she waits On his labourer’s wage On the highway of wealth They had in foolish passion Detoured into the pits of poverty
Sulks and silences Hunger and hate Pain and worry Becomes the fruits Of their haste To eat unripe The gifts of life The silent screams Thunders through And mocks at them Are diamonds forever? Will love last the day? When kisses are not worth The word of the lover? Tell me child Are diamonds forever When your tomorrow Is now slave to the Errors of a hasty yesterday?
