The pebble that stood alone
and driftwood lies half buried
warm shallow waters sweep shells
so the cockles shine...

I won’t sell this diamond
I won’t sell this diamond
I know she could give me
Incalculable riches
Everything I ever wanted
All that men desire
I don’t need that now

Shine on is at the top of every gemstone list on the internet, Diamond Dogs as well, this is what we're looking for though - the unexpected. Still waiting for songs about garnets and pearls.

"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" was obvious but let's go in a different direction. Joan Baez-Diamonds and Rust.
