Diamond in the Rough - Shawn Colvin

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

Im gonna find it Youre shining I can see you

Youre smiling thats enough

Im holding on to you

Like a diamond in the rough

Every now and then

I can see that Im 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 Im gonna find it Youre shining I can see you

Youre smiling thats enough

Im 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

Youre shining I can see you

Youre smiling thats enough

Im holding on to you

Like a diamond in the rough

Like a diamond in the rough
