Lyrics Diamonds In the Mine (Live) - Leonard Cohen

They gave me some money for my sad and famous song
They said, "The crowd is waiting, hurry up or they′ll be gone"
But I could not change my style and I guess I never will
So I sing this for the poisoned snakes on devastation hill
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
Tell them, ladies
(And there are no diamonds in the mine)
Well, the lady in blue, she's asking for revenge
The man in white, that′s you, says he has no friends
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
(And there are no diamonds in the mine)
Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb
You say you're restless now 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
(And there are no diamonds in the mine)
Now there is no comfort in the covens of the witch
There's no easy way to tell you who is poor and who is rich
And the only man of energy, yes the revolution′s pride
They say, he trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child
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 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)
