Emmylou Harris - Diamond In My Crown Lyrics
(Emmylouy HarrisPaul Kennerley)As each long day rolls by and falls behind meIn the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've foundTho' I'm weary even thenWhen I rise to start againTher'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crownI have wasted all that life has laid before meI have watched as all the green fields turn to brownBut I shall not disavowAll these ties that bind me nowTher'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crownShinning down some day I knowBrighter than all their streets of goldWhen the burdens that I carry I will lay downAnd the sorrows I have knownI'll see them all be overthrownTher'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crownThrough the passing of the years I will grow strongerJust as sure as this old world keeps spinning 'roundThen the closer I will beTo my sweetest victoryTher'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
