Diamond In The Rough Lyrics

Diamond In The Rough

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
