Shawn Colvin - Diamond in The Rough lyrics

rate me

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

And there is nothing so cruel

Than to bury that jewel

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

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas

Snakes in the grass got to 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, everything

In my dreams I go down, I go down

You're shining I can see you

You're smiling that's enough

And I'm holding on to you

Like a diamond in the rough

Like a diamond in the rough

And you're shining I can see you

You're smiling that's enough

I am holding on to you

Like a diamond in the rough

Like a diamond in the rough

Like a diamond in the rough

Like a diamond in the rough

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
