Lyrics
Diamonds sparkle, they glint in my hand
Refracting the light from the sun.
What I could do with this handful of gems
Doesn’t bear pondering on.
The heat and the dust are wearing me down,
I’m not sure how much more I can take,
I dreamed, last night, I was back home again
Fishing and swimming the lake.
These diamonds are worthless out here on the sand,
I can only feast my eyes.
I’d sell them right now, if I was given the chance,
For a cupful..............of cold rain
How do you measure a fortune?
In the city I’d be a rich man
But out here in the desert there’s no-one who cares
About the diamonds in my hand
I could throw them away and lose nothing at all,
Only what might have been,
The way things are precious depends where you are,
It depends on what you need.
These diamonds are worthless out here on the sand,
I can only feast my eyes.
I’d sell them right now, if I was given the chance,
For a cupful..............of cold rain
Diamonds sparkle, they glint in my hand
Refracting the light from the sun.
What I could do with this handful of gems
Doesn’t bear pondering on.
I could throw them away and lose nothing at all,
Only what might have been,
The way things are precious depends where you are,
It depends on what you need.
These diamonds are worthless out here on the sand,
I can only feast my eyes.
I’d sell them right now, if I was given the chance,
For a cupful..............of cold rain
