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
