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
