There is a diamond in the sky
Lying looking upwards at the starfield from the roof of Mud Fort deep in the Gangetic plain. There were four bright stars in a diamond pattern with a dark heart…very deep and meaningful… oh yes…
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2006

Am C D Em Am
There is a diamond in the sky
Four quartered stars do mark its span
It draws the mind to dream to fly
To places where it never can
There is a diamond in the sky
Illusion of geometry
In searching for a pattern I
Create a place where I am free
There is a diamond in the sky
The darkest black is at its core
A camel through the needle’s eye
A sanctuary for evermore
There is a diamond in the sky
A gateway to infinity
And if I go there bye and bye
You’ll never hear the more from me
