Diamonds On The Appletree Lyrics

Tiltmeter Diamonds On The Appletree

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.
