Still Waters
Lyricist:Michael Pratt
Well, I was shacked up down in Mobile With a girl from New York City She woke me up one night to tell me That we weren't alone
She said, she saw the ghost Of a woman staring at me I told her not to worry But in the morning when I woke up, she was gone
So I headed on to Florida where I tangled with some sailors And as I lay bloody on the wharf I cursed the ship they sailed on
Wouldn't you know, twenty four hours later That ship sank into the ocean Disappearing like an unwanted memory Beneath the waves
I guess it's 'cause still waters run Run deep in me 'Cause I got this crazy way, crazy way I'm swimming in still waters
And I was woke up just before dawn By an old man crying in the rain He was drunk and he was lonely And as he passed by he sang a hymn
And as I lay there listening Well, I almost joined him in that song Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But instead I just held my peace And waited 'till that old man moved along
Then later on that day About a quarter mile out of town I found his body hanging in A grove of pines, swaying in the wind
And as he swang that rope sang Another hymn to Jesus And this time, though I don't know why I somehow felt inclined to sing along
I guess it's cause still waters run Run deep in me 'Cause I got this crazy way, crazy way I'm swimming in still waters
Yes, and there are projects for the dead And there are projects for the living Thought I must confess sometimes I get confused by that distinction
And I just throw myself into the arms Of that which would betray me I guess to see how far providence Will stoop down just to save me
And it's all because, still waters run Run deep in me 'Cause I've got this crazy way, crazy way I'm swimming in still waters
