歌曲歌詞
Up on the white veranda
She wears a necktie and a panama hat
Her passport shows a face
From another time and place
She looks nothin like that
And all the remnants of her recent past
Are scattered in the wild wind
She walks across the marble floor
Where a voice from the gambling room is callin her to come on in
She smiles walks the other way
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away
From black diamond bay
As the mornin light breaks open the greek comes down
And he asks for a rope and a pen that will write
Pardon monsieur the desk clerk says
Carefully removes his fez
Am I hearin you right
And as the yellow fog is liftin
The greek is quickly headin for the second floor
She passes him on the spiral staircase
Thinkin hes the soviet ambassador
She starts to speak but he walks away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway
On black diamond bay
A soldier sits beneath the fan
Doin business with a tiny man who sells him a ring
Lightning strikes the lights blow out
The desk clerk wakes and begins to shout
Can you see anything
Then the greek appears on the second floor
In his bare feet with a rope around his neck
While a loser in the gambling room lights up a candle
Says open up another deck
But the dealer says attendez-vous sil vous plait
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
From black diamond bay
The desk clerk heard the woman laugh
As he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got tough
He tried to grab the womans hand
Said heres a ring it cost a grand
She said that ain't enough
Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags
While a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb
She passed the door that the greek had locked
Where a handwritten sign read do not disturb
She knocked upon it anyway
As the sun went down and the music did play
On black diamond bay
I've got to talk to someone quick
But the greek said go away and he kicked the chair to the floor
He hung there from the chandelier
She cried help theres danger near
Please open up the door
Then the volcano erupted
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above
The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the corner
Thinking of forbidden love
But the desk clerk said it happens every day
As the stars fell down and the fields burned away
On black diamond bay
As the island slowly sank
The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room
The dealer said its too late now
You can take your money but I don't know how
Youll spend it in the tomb
The tiny man bit the soldiers ear
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew
While she's out on the balcony where a stranger tells her
My darling je vous aime beaucoup
She sheds a tear and then begins to pray
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
From black diamond bay
I was sittin home alone one night in l a
Watchin old cronkite on the seven oclock news
It seems there was an earthquake that
Left nothin but a panama hat
And a pair of old greek shoes
Didnt seem like much was happenin
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer
Seems like every time you turn around
Theres another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
And theres really nothin anyone can say
And I never did plan to go anyway
To black diamond bay
