“Diamonds on the Water” moves through a selection of musical landscapes, each with noticeably different degrees of texture.
This connects to the album’s overall “theme” of journeys. Each time the song returns to a previous musical phrase, it has changed and evolved as if going on its own miniature...
[Verse 1]
Listen to the river
It echoes softly
Drifting in my memories
The sound of Summer
[Hook]
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
[Verse 2]
Listen to my heart beat
As I lie dreaming
Everywhere is whispering
The sound of Summer
[Bridge]
The diamonds on the water
Are falling from the sun
The diamonds on the water
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
[Interlude]
[Hook]
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
Da, day da day da day
