Diamond in the Rough
|
-Shawn Colvin/John Leventhal
|
|
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
|
