Lyrics - Diamonds by John Farnham

Russell morris, john farnham, and ross fraser
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 reach
There were diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
Diamonds on the water
You don’t need to sleep to have a dream
I believe that certain things can happen
To change the very nature of the beast
And
I have been a witness to survival
Nothing really has to rest in peace
There were diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
Diamonds on the water
You don’t need to sleep to have a dream
Here
I am,
I’m standing on
There edge of here and now
Here
I am, my time is coming round
Here
I am, dust to dust
I carry ancient ground
Now
I 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 be
There were diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
Diamonds on the water
You don’t need to sleep to have a dream
