Damien Jurado - Song For Langston Birch Lyrics

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
