Diamond In The Rough Lyrics - Steady On - Shawn Colvin

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 

And there is nothing so cruel 

Than to bury that jewel 

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 

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas 

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas 

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, everything 

In my dreams I go down, I go down 

You're shining I can see you 

You're smiling that's enough 

And I'm holding on to you 

Like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough 

And you're shining I can see you 

You're smiling that's enough 

I am 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 

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas 

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas 

Snakes in the grass got to step on the gas
