Mark Knopfler - I Dug Up A Diamond lyrics

rate me

(feat. Emmylou Harris) I dug up a diamond rare and fine i dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine if only i could cling to my beautiful find i dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine my gem is special Beyond all worth as strong as any metal or stone in the earth sharp as any razor or blade you can buy bright as any laser or any star in the sky maybe once in a lifetime you'll hold one in your hand once in a lifetime in this land where the journey ends in a worthless claim time and again in the mining game i dug up a diamond rare and fine i dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine down in the darkness in the dirt and the grime i dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine (Thanks to paolo for these lyrics)
