The Diamond

You are the brightest diamond

I can see you shining

For miles, and miles, and miles, and miles

Everybody here's wearing long faces

But you

And Mary wants to hold your face

And kiss you for her birthday

Are you coming?

I can see you shining

I can see you shining

You are the brightest diamond

Hidden in my pocket

Oh, how glorious you must feel, splendid

You must feel, splendid

But you have spit out beauty

Like an idiot

Why did you chew up shinies

With a paper shredder?

You are the brightest diamond

Hidden on my wrist

You are now untouchable

Now untouchable

Now untouchable

Reaching through the space between

Your universe and mine

A warm light shines

And will until all breath and sigh

Expend, expend
