Bruce Cockburn All The Diamonds In The World Lyrics

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
