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 snake s in the grass better step on the gas snake s in the grass better step on the gas 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 in my dreams i go down i go down i go down 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
