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
