Diamonds In The Mine Lyrics - Songs Of Love And Hate - 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 

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) 

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 revolution's 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
