about

Bruce Cockburn wrote this amazing song. Roy Salmond, from Vancouver BC, produced this track in his studio White Water Sound. His place was in a little fishing village called Steveston. We had been recording most of the day and I was tired. I lay down on the couch in the control room and pet Zoey, Roy's dog. Next thing I knew Roy had the mic just above my head. I sang the song lying on my back with my eyes closed. My right hand on Zoey's head.

lyrics

All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight
Sparkling on the sea

I ran aground in a harbour town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God He sent some gull-chased ship
To carry me to sea

Two thousand years and half a world away
Dying trees still grow greener when you pray

Silver scales flash bright and fade
In reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in sea of liquid jade
His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns
His ship comes shining.

Bruce Cockburn
