From Bruce Cockburn's album "Salt, Sun and Time" (1974). I don't really hit my stride with this until verse three.

All the diamonds in this world that mean anything to me
Are conjured up by wind and sunlight sparkling on the sea

I ran aground in a harbour town, lost the taste for being free
Thank God, He sent some gull-chased ship to carry me to sea

Two thousand years, and half a world away
Dying trees still grow greener when you pray

Silver scales flash bright and fade in reeds along the shore
Like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade, His ship comes shining
Like a crystal swan in a sky of suns, His ship comes shining
