Diamonds - Passenger

Well I spoke to this man

Said he’d been to the moon

Carved his name in the ground

Saw the world spinning round

And came back that afternoon

And I laughed at this man

Said he’d been lost at sea

Heard the sirens call

Seen the pirates fall

To the monsters in the deep

I said I’d heard some tall tales

Some good stories in my time

So I asked him for proof

He just showed me the truth

That was dancing in his eyes

I could not believe this man

Said he was a millionaire

He said I know I dress in rags

But I drive a vintage Jag

And I’ve got a diamond chandelier

I said I think I need a drink

And made my way outside

You know I’d swear this was a spoof

If it wasn’t for the truth

That was dancing in his eyes

When I came back in the room

The man had disappeared

He left a rock from the moon

And eyepatch and a diamond

From a chandelier
