Diamond in the Rough

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [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 When it was mine all along 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 [Verse 3] Every 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 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] Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the, 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, everything In my dreams I go down (I go down, I go down) I go down [Chorus] You're shining—I can see you You're smiling—that's enough And I'm holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough Oh, you're shining—I can see you You're smiling—that's enough I am holding on to you Like a diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough Like a diamond in the rough (Hey) [Outro] Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas) Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas (Snakes in the grass Gotta step on the gas)
