As a little girl I came down to the water 

With a little stone in my hand 

And it would shimmer and sing 

And I knew everything 



In a little while I got steeped in authority 

Heaven only knows what when wrong 

When there is nothing so cruel 

Than to bury that jewel when it was mine all along 

And I'm gonna find it 



You're shining, I can see you 

You're smiling, that's enough well 

I'm holding onto you, like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough 



Ever now and then I can see that I am 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 and I'm gonna find it 



You're shining, I can see you 

You're smiling, that's enough well 

I'm holding onto you, like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough 



Snake's in the grass better 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 

As a little girl I came down 



You're shining, I can see you 

You're smiling, that's enough well 

I'm holding onto you, like a diamond in the rough 

Like a diamond in the rough
