All The Diamonds In The World

Lyrics

All the diamonds in this world
 That mean anything to me
 Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
 Sparkling on the sea
 I ran aground in a harbour town
 Lost the taste for being free
 Thank God He sent some gull-chased ship
 To carry me to sea
 Two thousand years and half a world away
 Dying trees still grow greener when you pray
 Silver scales flash bright and fade
 In reeds along the shore
 Like a pearl in sea of liquid jade
 His ship comes shining
 Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
 His ship comes shining.
