Shawn Colvin - Diamond in the Rough (live) 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 j**el 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 gra** Better step on the gas Snake's in the gra** Better step on the gas Snake's in the gra** 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
