All the Diamonds
(bruce cockburn)

All the diamonds in the world that mean anything to me
are conjured up by wind and sunlight sparkling on the sea.
 
Ran aground in harbor town, lost the taste for being free.
Thank God, He sent some gull-chased ship to carry me to sea.
 
2,000 years and half a world away--
Dying trees still grow greener when you pray.
 
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 suns
His ship comes shining.

addendum: the Fsus2 in the line "conjured up by wind and sunlight" should
be Fsus2 (version 2)

hope this is clear enough
