i dug up a diamond
from 'all the roadrunning'

I dug up a diamond
Rare and fine
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine
If only I could cling to
My beautiful find
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine

My gem is special
Beyond all worth
As strong as any metal
Or stone in the earth
Sharp as any razor
Or blade you can buy
Bright as any laser
Or any star in the sky

Maybe once in a lifetime
You'll hold one in your hand
Once in a lifetime
In this land
Where the journey ends
In a worthless claim
Time and again
In the mining game

I dug up a diamond
Rare and fine
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine
Down in the darkness
In the dirt and the grime
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine

I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling you could vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Oh baby, baby, I think I love you too much

If I picked you up, oh you'd slip right away
And if I locked you up, you'd find a way to make me pay
You're gonna hurt me more than anybody else
'Cause you know I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much

Guess I'm gonna get you what you want
'Cause I'm so into you
You don't even give an inch to me baby
Though I've been giving you a mile or two

I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling that you could vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Oh baby, baby, I think I love you too much

Oh baby, baby, I think I love you too much
I say baby, baby, I think I love you too much

Well, all down the 40 I never used to lift
Thirteen gears, double clutch shift
All those horses underneath the hood
I don't do it no more but I used to could

GMC Cannonball going like a train
All down the 40 in the driving rain
All those horses underneath the hood
I don't do it no more but I used to could

Well I don't hang around 'cause it ain't no good
Like the big bad wolf in the neighborhood
Chasin' after Little Red Riding Hood
I don't do it no more but I used to could

My famous last words
Are laying around in tatters
Sounding absurd
Whatever I try
But I love you
And that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye

Yout bright shining sun
Would light up the way before me
You were the one
Made me feel I could fly
And I love you
Whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye

Who knows how long we've got
Or what were made out of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love
I know there is our love

My famous last words
Could never tell the story
Spinning unheard
In the dark of the sky
But I love you
And this is our glory
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye

See the world complaining
See my world go by
Well it's disappearing
The world is changing fast
It's a blank career
But I don't have to care
Nobody there...

In my car running down the street
In my car but they carry me
In my car yeah in my car is me...

Hit the evening news now, I'm on my radio
Then I have confuse now
I have the stereo
I see a trouble spot
But I don't have a stop
Let it talk...

In my car...

What my car is to me
Till when I don't look back now
You know it ain't so lately go
My car is back
The traffic light is blinking
Left the stop light I go for a wheels
And there is no thinking now
I'm driving wheel
But I don't have to feel
Made out of steel

In my car...

Are you homre from the sea, my soul balladeer
You've been away roaming far away from here
weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
crossed every ocean in the boat that you made

Been blowing your horn, scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein
like a bird on his own flight in his domain in the sky

Running in on the tide with the first of the stars
the moon on the water and the sound of guitars
Glide into the homing as the night falls
to tie up in the haven by the old harbour wall

And the hard-bitten stranger as deaf as a post
who stands at the fire where a poet's dreams roast
He can't know the story, he can't feel the pain
and all of the glory falls around him like rain in the sky

You're a light in the dark, a beacon of hope
and strong as a sea boat,strong as a rope
And the vagabund wind, whispers over the bay
and the songs and the laughter, are carried awy in the sky
