Bruce Cockburn All The Diamonds Lyrics

All The Diamonds 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
