I Gave My Love a Diamond — текст песни (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 thats got no end ? tell me.



I wrote her that wed get married in about 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 ?



Goodbye baby,

Im feelin so alone Im movin on.

I aint got no tall tale.

Dont call me - Ill call you.

See ya.
