Diamond In The Rough

Edie Carey


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
