Diamonds

Well I spoke to this man,

Said he’d been to the moon,

Carved his name in the ground,

Saw the world spinning round,

And came back that afternoon.

And I laughed at this man,

Said he’d been lost at sea,

Heard the sirens call,

Seen the pirates fall,

To the monsters in the deep.

I said I’d heard some tall tales,

Some good stories in my time,

When I asked him for proof,

He just showed me the truth,

That was dancing in his eyes.

I could not believe this man,

Said he was a millionaire,

He said I know I dress in rags,

But I drive a vintage Jag,

And I’ve got a diamond chandelier.

I said I think I need a drink,

And made my way outside,

You know I’d swear this was a spoof,

If it wasn’t for the truth,

That was dancing in his eyes.

When I came back in the room,

The man had disappeared,

He left a rock from the moon,

And eyepatch and a diamond,

From a chandelier.
