If you were a diamond
Would I find you in the dirt
Just laying with the other coal
But still fragile in your worth
At times you're just as dark
And I don't understand
How you call yourself my woman
Though you won't take my hand
And if you were a ruby
Would you glisten bright red
Would you melt away the eyes of god
And leave humanity for dead
At times you're just as bright
If I leave within the dirt
Now your covered by a worldly weight
My ashes dead and burned
We spent nights in angry and lust
We spend nights in demand
And you still call yourself my woman
Though you won't take my hand
And all this time
Oh I never known
That you're no precious gem
Just a block of stone
If you were a sapphire
Would you take away my blues
Would you place them with the blues you hold
Show your colours true
At times you're just as cold
And I don't understand
How you call yourself my woman
Though you won't take my hand
And all this time
Oh I never known
That you're no precious gem
Just a block of stone
And all this time
I never known
