[Verse 1]
All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea (Mmm)

[Verse 2]
I ran aground in a harbour town
I lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent some gull-chased ship
To carry me to sea
To carry me, yeah

[Bridge]
Two thousand years and half a world away
Dying trees still grow greener when you pray
So pray

[Verse 3]
Silver scales flash bright and fade
In reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of swans
His ship comes shining (Hey, hey)
[Outro]
Ooh, all the diamonds, hmm
All the diamonds, oh
All the diamonds, yeah
