An Hour Before It's Dark

Lyrics to Sierra Leone (III) The Diamond
I won’t sell this diamond
I won’t sell this diamond
I know she could give me
Incalculable riches
Everything I ever wanted
All that men desire
I don’t need that now

I won’t sell this diamond
Though I have no need for it
Except to be me
To do as I please
I will hide this diamond
And I’ll never be the same again
Finally I’m free
To have my own mind
For the first time in my life

Walking free
In Freetown
Walking free

Dozing in the sunset like the haze on the road
Shimmering my head
