My Blue Eyed Diamond of the Lake
Words and Music by Joe Dickinson

She was born about a year after me
Lived in the west but she moved to the east
To be close to the lake that she’d saw in her dreams

When she arrived she was younger than most
But never afraid, afraid of the ghost
That waited there silently on the lake’s coast

She kept on growing, she just couldn’t wait
To see what was out there, to find out her fate
Through the cool misty fog all she saw was the lake

By teenage years she’d been through it all
Nowhere to run, and nowhere to fall
But when she looked in the mirror her reflection she saw

I met my dream when I was fifteen
She’s shown me more, than I’ve ever seen
And her eyes shimmer blue like a beautiful dream

My……blue eyed diamond
My……blue eyed diamond
My……blue eyed diamond
Of the lake……

My……blue eyed diamond
My……blue eyed diamond
My……blue eyed diamond
Of the lake……
