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
