Diamonds Lyrics
Sly like a magpie's shared between species
Something there glitters; the theft is made
Gold speckled waters; the source unfound
Slips through wet fingers back underground
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 & the inevitable slaughter
Carry the future back off down the river
Reflections explained
In a watched world
There's nothing of magic
In this shining pearl
Through water that's red from the rust of an anchor
The blood & the paint from the towns that got captured
Where something dissolved & got free in the currents
Locked in black boxes they'll find their way
Thrown out on the highway they get home just the same
Each fishy sparkles again & again
Where rough diamonds lie
A lens that bends all light
Wills change & shape to suit its eye
Where rough diamonds lie
Reflections explained
In a watched world
There's nothing of magic
In this shining pearl
Where rough diamonds lie
Something there glitters; the theft is made
Gold speckled waters; the source unfound
Slips through wet fingers back underground
The trail's not cold; the coals are hot
The crew draw back together like magnets
To the head of the stream & the inevitable slaughter
Carry the future back off down the river
In a watched world
There's nothing of magic
In this shining pearl
The blood & the paint from the towns that got captured
Where something dissolved & got free in the currents
Thrown out on the highway they get home just the same
Each fishy sparkles again & again
A lens that bends all light
Wills change & shape to suit its eye
Where rough diamonds lie
In a watched world
There's nothing of magic
In this shining pearl
