Diamonds

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
And he just showed me the truth
That was dancing in his eyes.

Well 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.
oh no no no no

When I came back in the room,
The man had disappeared.
He left a rock from the moon,
An eyepatch, and a diamond
From a chandelier.
