Big Blue Diamonds Lyrics - Van Morrison

Blue diamonds, big blue diamonds on her finger
(On her finger) instead of a little band of gold
(Big blue, big blue diamonds)

Big diamonds (big diamonds)
Big blue diamonds (big diamonds)
Tell the story
Of a love that no one man could hold
(Could ever hold)
Oh, she wanted more than I
Had money to buy
So she left me sad and lonely
I am told (I am told)

Big diamonds (diamonds)
Big blue diamonds (diamonds)
Now she'll trade them
For a love behind a little band of gold
(A band of gold)

Blue diamonds (blue diamonds)
Big blue diamonds (blue diamonds)
How they sparkle (blue)
Well, what can they do
To warm your heart n' soul
(Warm your heart and soul)

When you're lonesome in the moonlight
And you want lovin', yeah
Big blue diamonds (diamonds)
Don't they seem so wreckless and bold
(Big blue diamonds)

I'd gladly do my part
Oh, mend a broken heart
With a love that's warmed over
Soon grows cold (it soon grows cold)

Big diamonds (diamonds)
Big blue diamonds (diamonds)
I don't want them, no
Oh, I just want a love behind
The little band of gold
(The band of gold)
