Van Morrison - I Gave My Love a Diamond lyrics
[Van Morrison - I Gave My Love a Diamond lyrics]
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'd get married
In about one year's 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?
Goodbye baby
I'm feelin' so alone i'm movin' on
I ain't got no tall tale
Don't call me - i'll call you see ya
