The Diamond Jewel of Evening

from Dreaming Dangerous Rainbows by Albatross Project

/

about

[down from the mountains, in another cheap
hotel room, 1976. mountains-delhi, mountains-
delhi…a hundred rupees for a thousand miles]

lyrics

i come from out the darkness
in the sunshine of your smile
i hold you in my arms
like i did before the fall

you’re the diamond jewel of evening
you’re the crested swan of dawn
you’re the reason why i’m leaving
though i came to keep you warm

chorus
blue skies is a dream
a lost horizon on still waters
oh lord won’t you take me
oh lord won’t you make me
come out clean

i waded through the waters in a whirlwind
i caught the storm and held it by the eye
i knew that your love like a hurricane
would burn and blow right on by

i came a million miles to meet you
through light years of dust storms
i have only love to give you
and my coat to keep you warm

it’s hard rocks my angel
it’s blistered feet and hands
it’s a long way to reach you
many dead left behind

[chorus]

you’re the blazing emerald empire
wherein lies the crystal crown
you’re the diamond jewel of evening
you’re the crested swan of dawn

ooh la-la ooh la-la

[chorus]
