Diamonds
Lyricist:Thomas C Greenhalgh, Jonathan D Langford
Sly like a magpie's shared between the species Something there glitters, the theft is made Gold speckled waters, the source unfound Slips through wet fingers back under ground
The reason for the voyage hasn't been forgot The trail's not cold, the coals are hot The crew draw back together like magnets
Salmon at sea that head back to fresh water To the head of the stream and the inevitable slaughter Carry the future back off down the river
Affection explained in a watched world There's nothing of magic in this shining pearl
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The water gets red with the rust of an anchor The blood and the paint from the towns that got captured Where something dissolved and got free in the current
Locked in black boxes they'll find their way Thrown out on the highway they get home just the same Each fishy sparkles again and again
Where rough diamonds lie A lens that bends all light Will change and shape to suit its eye Where rough diamonds lie
Affection explained in a watched world There's nothing of magic in this shining pearl Where rough diamonds lie
