Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
She told herself she would prevail
Across the sands, beyond the seas
She was looking for the answers
to make herself complete
She's searching for the stone
A jewel lost in time
With an angel beside her
to help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
as the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
for the blood red diamond
The ancients cast the sands of time
Her pain was lost in an endless shine
She lays herself to rest
In an enchanting glow she'll remain obsessed
She was longing for the stone
A jewel lost in time
With an angel beside her
to help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
as the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
for the blood red diamond
There are no exceptions
They all wither
Those who lust for the blood red diamond
With an angel beside her
to help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
as the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
for the blood red diamond
Blood red diamond
She'd give her life
(x2)
Across the sands, beyond the seas
She was looking for the answers
to make herself complete
She's searching for the stone
A jewel lost in time
With an angel beside her
to help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
as the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
for the blood red diamond
The ancients cast the sands of time
Her pain was lost in an endless shine
She lays herself to rest
In an enchanting glow she'll remain obsessed
She was longing for the stone
A jewel lost in time
With an angel beside her
to help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
as the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
for the blood red diamond
There are no exceptions
They all wither
Those who lust for the blood red diamond
With an angel beside her
to help her through the void,
she sees it waiting there
as the legend's told
By her side
She'd give her life
for the blood red diamond
Blood red diamond
She'd give her life
(x2)

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
