Sly like a magpie's shared between the species

Something there glitters, the theft is made

Gold speckled waters, the source unfound

Slips through wet fingers back under ground

The reason for the voyage hasn't been forgot

The trail's not cold, the coals are hot

The crew draw back together like magnets
8
Salmon at sea that head back to fresh water

To the head of the stream and the inevitable slaughter

Carry the future back off down the river

Affection explained in a watched world

There's nothing of magic in this shining pearl

The water gets red with the rust of an anchor
14
The blood and the paint from the towns that got captured
15
Where something dissolved and got free in the current

Locked in black boxes they'll find their way

Thrown out on the highway they get home just the same

Each fishy sparkles again and again

Where rough diamonds lie

Will change and shape to suit its eye

Where rough diamonds lie

Affection explained in a watched world

There's nothing of magic in this shining pearl

Where rough diamonds lie
