I Gave My Love A Diamond Lyrics - Van Morrison

I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone 

i gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone 

i gave my love a promise that had no truth 

what good is a promise without no truth? 

I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold 

i gave it to her lie, by lie, by lie, by lie that i had told 

i gave my love a story that had no end 

what good is a story that's got no end? 

tell me 

I wrote her that we would marry 

in about, a-one years time 

i wrote her in a boxcar on the memphis line 

i sent my love a letter without no stamp, ha 

and what good is a letter without no stamp? 

Good-bye baby 

i'm feelin' so alone 

i'm movin' on 

i ain't got no small change 

and don't call me, i'll call you 

fades- 

see ya!
