She Is a Diamond

But on the other hand, she's all they have She's a diamond in their dull gray lives And that's the hardest kind of stone It usually survives And when you think about it, can you recall The last time they loved anyone at all? She's not a bauble you can brush aside She's been out doing what we just talked about, example Gave us back our businesses, got the English out And when you think about it, well why not do One or two of the things we promised to? But on the other hand, she's slowing down She's lost a little of that magic drive But I would not advise those critics present to derive Any satisfaction from her fading star She's the one who's kept us where we are She's the one who's kept you where you are
