Diamond In The Rough

Lyrics

As a little girl I came down to the water
 With a little stone in my hand
 It would shimmer and sing
 And we knew everything
 As a little girl I came down
 But in a little while I got steeped in authority
 Heaven only knows what went wrong
 There is nothing so cruel than
 to bury that jewel
 When it was mine all along
 I'm gonna find it
 You're shining I can see you
 You're smiling that's enough
 I'm holding on to you
 Like a diamond in the rough
 ♪
 Every now and then
 I can see that I'm 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
 But I'm gonna find it
 You're shining I can see you
 You're smiling that's enough
 I'm holding on to you
 Like a diamond in the rough
 Like a diamond in the rough
 Snake's in the grass
 ♪
 Better step on the gas
 Snake's in the grass
 Better step on the gas
 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
 In my dreams I go down
 I go down, I go down, I go down
 You're shining I can see you
 You're smiling that's enough
 I'm holding on to you
 Like a diamond in the rough
 ♪
 Like a diamond in the rough
