Sell Me A Diamond - David Crosby

He wanted to sell me a diamond

He said it was conflict free

Was such a beautiful concept

That such a thing could be

See it shining on the velvet

Faceted fire lying there

While I listen to a couple arguing

Three feet behind my chair

Bitterness soaks their voices

It’s been riding them for years

Anger they keep on carrying

Old hurt words in their ears

Sell me a diamond, I have to know

If this transaction is the key to letting go

Empty my pockets, you’ll find a ring

Is there a crime if no one loses anything

Sell me a diamond, one fluid moment

And seven crows above could be an omen

Sell me a diamond

I’ll just stop watching news I guess

You know that would be a gift

Just listen to children laughing

And give myself a lift

And maybe I’ll see somebody

Kind to someone in the street

And I will give this gift to

The next diamond soul I meet

Sell me a diamond, one fluid moment

You know seven crows above could be an omen

Empty my pockets, you’ll find a ring

Is there a crime if no one loses anything

Sell me a diamond, I have to know

If this transaction is the key to letting go

Sell me a diamond

Makes conflict free sound good to me

Makes conflict free sound good to me

Makes conflict free sound good to me

Makes conflict free sound good to me
