Diamond Lyrics - Don't Let The World See Your Love - Spencer Burton

If you were a diamond 

Would I find you in the dirt 

Just laying with the other coal 

But still fragile in your worth 

At times you're just as dark 

And I don't understand 

How you call yourself my woman 

Though you won't take my hand 

And if you were a ruby 

Would you glisten bright red 

Would you melt away the eyes of god 

And leave humanity for dead 

At times you're just as bright 

If I leave within the dirt 

Now your covered by a worldly weight 

My ashes dead and burned 

We spent nights in angry and lust 

We spend nights in demand 

And you still call yourself my woman 

Though you won't take my hand 

And all this time 

Oh I never known 

That you're no precious gem 

Just a block of stone 

If you were a sapphire 

Would you take away my blues 

Would you place them with the blues you hold 

Show your colours true 

At times you're just as cold 

And I don't understand 

How you call yourself my woman 

Though you won't take my hand 

And all this time 

Oh I never known 

That you're no precious gem 

Just a block of stone 

And all this time 

I never known
