Standard (EADGBE)

 Voices cry out, shells of houses

 White faced children, hungry eyes

 The cruel sea calls to the unwilling traveller

 Who would look for the road to survival

Chorus 1

 Hold my hand a little longer

 Take one last look out over the fields

 To the reds and the browns of diamond mountain

 Bring the smell and the sound to your station

Chorus 2

 I will be here when you need me

 I will be here in the pouring rain

 I will be here on diamond mountain

Verse 2

 They bring their song line to Australia

 Scattering magical airs cities towns

 The dreaming road to diamond mountain

 An ordinary wonder on the heather ground

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Verse 3

 He kisses his love on diamond mountain

 The mad wind whistles bushes stones

 Like two March swallows back on thr mountain

 Come full circle at last heaven, home

Chorus 2
