Diamonds To Coal Lyrics - Jim White

It's the twilight hour 

As the sun goes down 

I see a flatbed Ford with a scrapyard load 

Rattle off through town 

The railroad crossing lights flash on 

There ain't no train in sight 

A crescent moon will soon ascend 

As day gives way to night 

And I feel home 

And I think how far away 

I got from home 

Back in the bad old days 

But I'm done turning diamonds to coal

Now just before dinner time 

This old drunk comes knocking on my door 

Say he's looking for some girl who lived here 

Twenty-seven years ago 

The radio in the kitchen is playing 

'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' 

And as he strolls away into the night 

And the streetlights flicker on 

I get to thinking about home 

And how sometimes there come a day 

When I try to get back home 

But all you can do is run away 

But I'm done turning diamonds to coal 

In love we find out who we are 

In sorrow we abide 

Our strength's revealed by what we build 

From the broken things inside

But a day will come when you will know 

Which way you must choose to go 

To travel on and live alone 

Or turn yourself around and try to get back home 

Try to get back home 

And now way up high two jet planes 

Weave spider webs across the sky 

As that flatbed Ford has dropped his load 

Now there he goes swinging by 

And the silence gathering 'round this house 

Makes such a lovely sound 

That I know for sure that I am cured 

From turning diamonds, from turning diamonds to coal 

'Cause I feel home and I'm done turning diamonds to coal 

Yes, I'm done turning diamonds to coal 

Yes, I'm done turning diamonds to coal 

Yes, I'm done turning diamonds to coal 

Yes, I'm done turning diamonds to coal
