Diamonds Songtext
von Declan de Barra

One of these days I′ll buy you an island
Seven saviors and a son
We'll dine on the finest fare
Our time has only begun
But for now I got nothing
Got no title or land
I′ve got little to offer you
So I offer you up my hand

Day by day we'll do our best
As the water flows we'll figure the rest
And all tomorrows will be grand


One of these days I′ll spell your name in diamonds
But they won′t shine as brightly as you
So I offer you the only thing I have
My hand to warm your heart
And the storms they send won't touch us
′Cause we lie in warmer thoughts
We're only second class citizens
And the names they call us not enough
So close your eyes and take my hand
Tomorrow′s sunlight will be ours

Day by day we'll do our best
As the water flows we′ll figure the rest
And all tomorrows will be grand

One of these days I'll spell your name in diamonds
But they won't shine as brightly as you
And though we′re hungry now our time will come together
This dark won′t last forever, we'll make it through
One of these days I′ll spell your name in diamonds
But they won't shine as brightly as you
