Ronny Elliott Broke Heart Blues from "Magneto" release 2002 I've seen the things that gold can do to a man's soul and I've watched people laid too low to pray I've held diamonds that started off dirty coal Only the saints rely on the stars to show them the way Men without work and men without hope on a city street pass the reverently rich on the sidewalk everyday Their shoulders may touch but you can be sure that their eyes don't meet Flat on your back, the stars in the sky will show you the way Chorus There's gold on the moon and diamonds in the sky and the streets fill with silver when the rain clouds cry You can walk around heaven with diamond dust on your shoes, but for the grace of God, The broke heart blues If preachers gave away hope and gave away love like they do bread and wine And if the meek inherited their share of the earth today And if hypnocrisy fails, with all it entails, and gives us a sign We'll look to the stars and rely on the saints to show us the way
