All through the night we were battered by storms in the darkness But at dawn the wind dropped away, we sighted the land And suddenly there a break in the cloud Like the coming of God in the world In diamonds of sun on the water Diamonds of sun on the water Somewhere beneath the noise of our lives there is stillness In points of light from the fireflies to the stars Where arm in arm come Abel and Cain walking down to the sea To gaze at the sun on the water Just to gaze at the sun on the water Once all our paths led us onwards Now they are guiding us home From the courts of the kings we returning One by one Now from desks in the cities with faraway eyes Gazing out over the roofs We're dreaming of sun on the water Dreaming of sun on the water Dreaming of sun on the water
