Venusian Diamond lyrics
Song information
Artist: Carole King Album: Welcome Home
Lyrics
On the thirty-first day of the summer moon In the marketplace Somebody touched my hand and said I was a woman of taste Then with a flutter of wings Amid the clutter of things I saw the venusian diamond through a sea of grace
It said, 'lay all of your money down And I will be your own Do it if you can If you don't, you better leave it alone' Then there appeared a serpent hanging Like a thunder rope He said, 'pull me'--i did And fell into the wrong end of a telescope So I began to run I knew not to where I'd come I could hear the venusian diamond and it Gave me hope It said, 'shatter all your images And I will be your own Do it if you can If you don't, you better leave it alone' Selves Selfish Selfless Self
