Diamonds on the Appletree Lyrics

Moments til the sentencing.Love the work that it brings.

The question leaves its mark of coarse,

hand one out to the in-laws.

Happy snaps in hospitals.

Rubber gloves parade the walls.

Find a shoulder which to cling.

Find a song for us to sing

and wish for something good like

diamonds on the apple tree.

I'll stop now.

Swaying in the orphans arms.

At least we'll all have a chance to run.



Like running in a bad dream.

I'll stop now.

Swaying in the orphans arms,

waiting on the one that they call mum.

Movies tell me life is good.

Nineteen- forties Hollywood.

I wonder what she did back then,

maybe read a book instead.

Something to avoid the war.

Comes back like an encore.

When you make it off the boat,

motion pictures we will go.

Just

run.
