    Lyrics:
    The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge
    The man in white -- that's you -- says he has no friends
    The river is swollen up with rusty cans
    And the trees are burning in your promised land
    And there are no letters in the mailbox
    And there are no grapes upon the vine
    And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore
    And there are no diamonds in the mine
    Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb
    You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him
    Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night
    He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight
    And there are no letters in the mailbox
    And there are no grapes upon the vine
    And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore
    And there are no diamonds in the mine
    Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch
    Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch
    And the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride
    He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child
    And there are no letters in the mailbox
    Oh no, there are no grapes upon your vine
    And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore
    And there are no diamonds in your mine
    And there are no letters in the mailbox
    And there are no grapes upon the vine
    And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore
    And there are no diamonds in your mine
    That's all I got to say

    The way I came to listen to Leonard Cohen is a bit of serendipity. I was in the library looking for a book, I think it was Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now -- haha! And in the book was a check out list from someone who had checked the book out before. On the list was another book and a CD of Leonard Cohen. I listened to Diamonds in the Mine and went -- Wow!
