As a little girl I came down to the water
With a little stone in my hand
And it would shimmer and sing
And we knew everything As a little girl I came down
In a little while I got steeped in
authority Heaven only knows what went wrong
But there's nothing so cruel Than to bury that jewel
And it was mine all along I'm gonna find it
You're shining,
I can see you
You're smiling,
that's a novel
And I'm holding on to you Like a diamond
in the rough
Every now and then I can see I am getting somewhere
Where I have to go is so deep I was angry back then
And I guess I still am
And I have lost too much sleep
And I'm gonna find it You're shining,
I can see you
You're smiling,
that's a novel And I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
And in my dreams I go down to the water With a little girl in my arms
And we shimmer and sing And we know everything
And in my dreams I go down You're shining,
I can see you
You're smiling,
that's a novel And I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
You're shining,
I can see you You're smiling,
that's a novel
And I'm holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond
in the rough
Thank you.
I hope you enjoyed it.
I did.
And I'll see you again
next time.
Thank you.
With a little stone in my hand
And it would shimmer and sing
And we knew everything As a little girl I came down
In a little while I got steeped in
authority Heaven only knows what went wrong
But there's nothing so cruel Than to bury that jewel
And it was mine all along I'm gonna find it
You're shining,
I can see you
You're smiling,
that's a novel
And I'm holding on to you Like a diamond
in the rough
Every now and then I can see I am getting somewhere
Where I have to go is so deep I was angry back then
And I guess I still am
And I have lost too much sleep
And I'm gonna find it You're shining,
I can see you
You're smiling,
that's a novel And I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
And in my dreams I go down to the water With a little girl in my arms
And we shimmer and sing And we know everything
And in my dreams I go down You're shining,
I can see you
You're smiling,
that's a novel And I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
You're shining,
I can see you You're smiling,
that's a novel
And I'm holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond
in the rough
Thank you.
I hope you enjoyed it.
I did.
And I'll see you again
next time.
Thank you.
