Diamond in the Rough

[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)
