lyrics

My uncle on my father’s side’s a farmer, he is old now but smiles just the same, spent his life working way over yonder, in the fields among the rocks and the clay / He says: ”Tell me what more is a diamond, son, than a stone in the blind man’s hand, if you’d see what I see then you too could be king with a kingdom in hand” / Now I can’t help but think that there’s a truth there, something missing in this modern trance, maybe to live and work the land of your fathers is the offering our sanity demands / People chase the end of the rainbow, because they heard there’s the end of their tales / I just wanna be walking up the old dirtroad, passed the birchtrees I’ll see my uncle wave, singing: ”Tell me what more is a diamond, son, than a stone in the blind man’s hand, people run, running round round in circles until their diamonds get lost in the sand” / Oh, how I wish I’d be like him, free from a world that’s speeding / ”Don’t play their game boy can’t you see, the more you get the less you dream, Don’t put your faith in faithless lies, The cheering warmth of summer never dies, the cheering warmth of summer holds the instruments of life” / I don’t know if this is really true or not, but a friend told me Syd Barrett said, that the only way to be free is to lie still in your bed then there’s no end to the possibilities / So tell me what more is a Diamond, than a stone in the blind man’s hand, our lifes need to be cut into pieces so we can live every possible end / Don’t play their game boy
