Lyric 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
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


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


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
