as a little girl i came down to the water
with a little stone in my
hand
and it would shimmer and sing
and i knew everything
in a
little while i got steeped in authority
heaven only knows what when
wrong
when there is nothing so cruel
than to bury that jewel when it
was mine all along
and i'm gonna find it
you're shining, i can see
you
you're smiling, that's enough well
i'm holding onto you, like a
diamond in the rough
like a diamond in the rough
ever now and then
i can see that i am getting somewhere
where i have to go is so deep
i
was angry back then, and you know i still am
i have lost too much sleep and
i'm gonna find it
you're shining, i can see you
you're smiling,
that's enough well
i'm holding onto you, like a diamond in the
rough
like a diamond in the rough
snake's in the grass better step
on the gas
in my dreams i go down by the water
with a little girl
in my arms and we shimmer and sing
and we know everything
as a little
girl i came down
you're shining, i can see you
you're smiling,
that's enough well
i'm holding onto you, like a diamond in the
rough
like a diamond in the rough
