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 
 As a little girl I came down

 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 (2x)

 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, down
 I go 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 
 Yeah, like a diamond in the rough
