lyrics

1/
I sail the ocean of love
I hear the sirens scream
I touch the horizon
and every point in between

I swim in the river of venus
I drown in her tears
I ride through the black mountains
Alone without fear

I burn with Saint Joan
I bleed with Saint Simon
I fly on the back of an eagle
across the grand canyon

chorus:-
I return to Diamond Bay
To the cliffs and the waves
Those bright winters day
At Diamond Bay

At Diamond Bay
love is so far away
just cliffs and waves
At Diamond Bay

2/
I was always dodging bullets
running for cover
hiding in shadows
from lover to lover

You only ever know
I only ever felt it
when I lost it
when I let it go

I travelled far and wide
I spoke so many languages
I had a clever disguise
Nowhere to hide

chorus

3/
I’m such a stupid man
I let love fall through my hands
I didn’t trust it
I did not understand

That storms will blow
birds will fly away
lovers stop loving
each and every day

All the leaves they fall
days they get shorter
those nights a little colder
Diamond bay

chorus
