[Intro]
And our love shines
Like a diamond mine
[Verse 1]
You say the party's over
But like a drunken fool
I never know when to leave
It's just that in the eyes of this beholder
You mean everything to me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you say that you don't love me
Yeah, you talk about the other boys
And you laugh in my face
But I know when you're feeling sad and lonely
No other boy can take my place
[Chorus]
'Cause when I look into your eyes
Well our love shines
Yea our love shines
Like a diamond mine
[Bridge]
Nothing's as obvious as what is lost
Nothing's as painful as the cost
Let it shine
Let it shine
Like a diamond mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And I hear all these rumours about you
Yea the trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news
But all it does is make me kind of wonder
Why are people so eager to be so cruel
[Chorus]
'Cause when I look into your eyes
Well our love shines
Yeah, our love shines
Yeah, our love shines
Like a diamond mine
Like a diamond mine
Like a diamond mine
Like a diamond mine
Diamond Mine was written by Jim Cuddy & Greg Keelor.
Diamond Mine was produced by Blue Rodeo & Malcolm Burn.
Blue Rodeo released Diamond Mine on Sat May 20 1989.
I wish this one would have been called “DIamond Mind.” Can you change the title of it on this CD? Tell them I said it was ok, cause it’s the same thing, really.
— Greg Keelor from the liner notes of their 1999 live album, Just a Vacation.
In a February 2020 Facebook post, Cuddy said:
diamond mind is what i meant to call it
it a buddha term for a mind united with pure awareness
the song is another imagined relationship
and the transcendent power of love
when love is a fascination and obsession and it sparkles like a precious jewel
