Loading...

[intro]
please give a warm welcome to shawn colvin.

[verse 1]
mmm, as a little girl i came down to the water
with a little stone in my hand
and it would shimmer and sing
and we knew everything, yeah
as a little girl i came down

[verse 2]
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
it was mine all along
and i’m gonna find it
[chorus]
you’re shining—i can see you
you’re smiling—that’s enough
well, i’m holding on to you
like a diamond in the rough

[verse 3]
well, every now and then
i can see that i am getting somеwhere
wherе i have to go is so deep
i was angry back then
and you know i still am
well, i have lost too much sleep
i’m gonna find it

[chorus]
’cause you’re shining—i can see you
you’re smiling—that’s enough
oh, i’m holding on to you
like a diamond in the rough
like a diamond in the rough

[interlude]
oh, snakes in the grass
gotta step on the gas
snakes in the grass
gotta step on the gas
[verse 4]
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
oh, in my dreams i go down, down, down, down
i go down

[chorus]
’cause you’re shining—i can see you
you’re smiling—that’s enough
well, i’m holding on to you
like a diamond in the rough
like a diamond in the rough
you’re shining—i can see you
you’re smiling—that’s enough
well, i’m holding on to you
like a diamond in the rough
like a diamond in the rough
like a diamond in the rough, hey
like a diamond in the rough, mmm

[outro]
thank you.
