Diamond Day Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JoahuaB 

Cover art for Diamond Day lyrics by Vashti Bunyan

She wrote this on a train through Belgium, after an ill advised concert series for younger Christmas audiences whom were too young for her music. Dejected and watching the farmers harvest fields, she wrote the song to say she didn't need to be a music star, but that a normal pastoral life is enough. That a regular day of rural life is a great day, a diamond day.
