DIAMOND MOUNTAIN

by LUKA BLOOM

Voices cry out, shells of houses

White-faced children, hungry eyes

The cruel sea calls the unwilling traveller

Who would look for the road to survival

Hold my hand a little longer

Take one last look out over the fields

To the reds and the browns of Diamond Mountain

Bring the smell and the sound to your station

I will be here when you need me

I will be here in the pouring rain

I will be here on Diamond Mountain

They bring their song line to Australia

Scattering magical airs, cities, towns

The dreaming road to Diamond Mountain

An ordinary wonder on the heather ground

Hold my hand a little longer

Take one last look out over the fields

To the reds and the browns of Diamond Mountain

Bring the smell and the sound to your station

I will be here when you need me

I will be here in the pouring rain

I will be here on Diamond Mountain

He kisses his love on Diamond Mountain

The mad wind whistles, bushes and stones

Like two March swallows back on the mountain

Come full circle at last, heaven, home

I will be here when you need me

I will be here in the pouring rain

I will be here on Diamond Mountain

Heard this on Sirius coffee house about a month ago, second time I heard it it really sank in. Even if you don't listen to the words closely you can't help but feel some type of feeling this song imparts of a struggle towards something great!

Luka sings this song very sensetive. You here the sadness in his voice of the peolpe who had to emigrate for a better live(perhaps). This is my favorite song and I hope that I will hear luka singing this song live one time. Addo1945 adrievdweegen

Hallo. This song is the most sensetive song I have ever heard. When you know the history of Irland you understand this song. I hope that I hear Luka singing this song live. There is nothing better then live. Tasman 53

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm a big luka bloom fan. I've never seen him live but have been listening to the CD with Diamond Mountain off and on over the years. (So many amazing songs on that CD!) Recently been checking out some of his live performances online and so thankful that people have posted these!
