Van morrison i gave my love a diamond lyrics

I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone,

 I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone.

 I gave my love a promise that had no truth,

 What good is a promise without no truth ? 

 

 I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold,

 I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told.

 I gave my love a story that had no end,

 What good is a story that's got no end ? Tell me. 

 

 I wrote her that we'd get married in about one year's time.

 I wrote her in a boxcar on the Memphis line.

 I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha!

 And what good is a letter without no stamp ? 

 

 Goodbye baby, 

 I'm feelin' so alone I'm movin' on.

 I ain't got no tall tale.

 Don't call me - I'll call you. 

 See ya.
