Diamonds in the mine lyrics

Artist  : Leonard cohen 
Song : Diamonds in the mine
 
The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge, 
the man in white -- that's you -- says he has no
friends. 
The river is swollen up with rusty cans 
and the trees are burning in your promised land. 
And there are no letters in the mailbox, 
and there are no grapes upon the vine, 
and there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,

and there are no diamonds in the mine. 

Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken
limb, 
you say you're kind of restless now and it's on
account of him. 
Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the
other night, 
he was eating up a lady where the lions and
Christians fight. 

And there are no letters in the mailbox 
and there are no grapes upon the vine, 
and there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore,

and there are no diamonds in the mine. 

(You tell them now) 

Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the
witch, 
some very clever doctor went and sterilized the
bitch, 
and the only man of energy, yes the revolution's
pride, 
he trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn
child. 

And there are no letters in the mailbox, 
oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine, 
and there are, there are no chocolates in your
boxes anymore, 
and there are no diamonds in your mine. 
And there are no letters in the mailbox, 
and there are no grapes upon the vine, 
and there are no chocolates in your boxes
anymore, 
and there are no diamonds in your mine.
