Lyrics
Diamond and Pride - Richard Murray
'75 is dusted and done
But I wish I coulda seen the Miami sun
Here shining in the land of the troubled ones
Oh but a night out from under the gun
In the season of the severance and the hit and run
Singing I Got the Feelin' and Kentucky Woman
Man Alive
Do my eyes deceive me
Diamond and Pride
The stars were all falling down on
Borealis
Gentleman Jim is gone with the wind
But I wish I coulda seen the Irish pilgrim
Charm the songbird out in Iowa
Right off his Cedar limb
Man Alive
Do my eyes deceive me
Diamond and Pride
The stars were all falling down on our
Borealis
And his mission drive
Keeps rollin' north 'cross the great divide
And the stars keep on falling down on
Borealis
And somewhere between the queen and the green
We'll jump we'll jive
They cannot deprive us
Man Alive
Do my eyes deceive me
Diamond and Pride
The stars were all falling down on our
Borealis
And his mission drive
Keeps rollin' north 'cross the great divide
And the stars keep on falling down on
Borealis
And somewhere between the queen and the green I've seen
The stars all falling down on our
Borealis
Borealis
