Diamonds

Buy me a new pair of diamonds she said
Some that will sparkle long after I’m dead
Let me be remembered for what I’ve said, for what I’ve carried around
Buy me a watch now
Not just any kind, one that will make up for all the lost time
One that will wake up the world and remind people that I’m still alive
What is that you remember the most
The weight of the words
The smiles and the smoke
Or is it the gentle words that were spoken
Or the things that weren’t said at all
