[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
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
