All the Diamonds In the World Lyrics by Eleanor McCain

True North: The Canadian Songbook

2017

[Verse 1]
All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea
[Verse 2]
I ran aground in a harbour town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent some gull-chased ship
To carry me to sea
[Bridge]
Two thousand years and half a world away
Dying trees still grow greener when you pray
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Two thousand years and half a world away
Dying trees still will grow greener when you 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 suns
His ship comes shining (Ooh)
