	Story Behind the Song This is the title track from my new CD to be officially released September, 2003. Lyrics Diamonds For Fields of Clover Verse 1: It’s been a long cold winter, working way up north, Digging diamonds out of the rocky, frozen earth, It’s springtime on the prairies, five more weeks—I’ll be there too, I swear to God this time I’ll buy some land with the money that’s in my hands. Chorus: I’ll trade you diamonds for fields of clover, rocks for green, growing land, Leaves, trees, and bumble bees, her hand in my hand. I’d give everything in this diamond mine for that farmhouse on a hill… Diamonds for fields of clover and that love I’d have still. Verse 2: How many years have I kept saying, I’d save my money this time. Not blow it all on fancy pick-up trucks, drugs, women, whiskey and wine. I’d come down south every summer with plans that just fell through, In the bars of good-old Edmonton like I had nothing better to do. –then trade you diamonds... (repeat chorus) Bridge: This time I have to do; I don’t want to come up here no more. Though they pay us so damn much money, it’s not worth it anymore. (repeat chorus) Coda: Diamonds for fields of clover and her love I’d have still. Words and music by Marv Machura © 2001
