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
