So it gets to seven And I think of nothing But living in darkness And the diamond lady Well she's not telling I don't even know her name
It's amazing Times have changed In days of old Imagination'd leave you standing Out in the could Dancing city Now you're talking
But where's your soul You've a thousand faces I'll never know There are complications And compensations If you know the game Agitated in Xenon nightly I'll take you home again
Travel way downtown In search of nothing But the sky at night And the diamond lady Well she's not talking But that's alright So I turn the pages And tell the story From town to town
People tell me Be determined Poor country boy Too much luck Means too much trouble Much time alone But arm in arm With my seaside diamond I'll soon be home
