Song For Langston Birch
Damien Jurado
Man, I was a diamond
I fell into the diamond sea
A substitute starlight
A prism for the rainbow stream
Would you tell me that you want me
Would you throw me back lightly
Into the diamond sea
Shine on, see through me
Your expensive reflection is seen
A chandelier ghost trap
Who's danced on the fingers of queens
Would you tell me that you want me
Would you throw me back lightly
Into the diamond sea
Jealous of gold
I am emulous into the fire
My love is not shared
It is only for you I can shine
If you decided
It's not diamonds you wanted
It is gold
Let me go on
I would rather just drown then go on
Would you tell me that you want me
Would you throw me back lightly
Would you tell me that you want me
Would you throw me back lightly
Into the diamond sea
