Diamonds in the Mine Lyrics by Carter Tanton

Jettison the Valley

0

All I got is time, restless friend of mine
Toll tickets on the dash, a half-tank of gas
Don't nobody look, I'm fading real fast
'Cause all I got is time and a ten-mile stare
And diamonds in the mine
I've left my Amanda, as changes took hold
Those diamonds in the mine
All I got is time and a phone call at five
With Richard or June about the one-bedroom
Don't nobody look look look, I'll vanish real soon
'Cause all I ever find are memories to spare
Diamonds in the mine
I've left my Amanda a story untold
'Cause all I got is time
She was hard to abandon, but changes take hold
With diamonds in the mine
Falling in and out of love, all with a ten-mile stare
The jury's out and won't be long, I'll wait with a ten-mile stare
'Cause far away in the North
Eight miles in the night
You can find me lonesome there
Gettin' really lonesome here
A little indecision as the night grows cold
What will I ever find?
I've left my Amanda neither silver or gold
But diamonds in the mine
