All the Diamonds
by Steve Bell

Album: Simple Songs

All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea

Ran aground in a harbour town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent His gull chased ship
To carry me to sea

Two thousand years
And half a world away
Dying trees still
Will grow greener when you pray

Silver scales flash bright and fade
In the reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining

Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining
