I looked there across to the horizon
The moon was bright and high up in the east
I stretched out to touch what I was seeing
And then I looked up and found it out of reachDiamonds on the water
I saw star fire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep to have a dreamI believe that certain things can happen
To change the very nature of the beast
And I have been a witness to survival
And nothing really has to rest in peaceDiamonds on the water
I saw star fire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep to have a dreamHere I am, I'm standing on the edge of here and now
Here I am, my time is coming round
Here I am, dust to dust I carry ancient groundI am in a perfect situation
But thoughts intrude on me just like a thief
They steal me back to all that I would run from
Back from where I really want to beDiamonds on the water
I saw star fire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleepDiamonds on the water
I saw star fire on the sea
Diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleepDiamonds on the water
I saw star fire on the sea
Diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleepDiamonds on the water
I saw star fire on the sea
Diamonds on the water
