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
