"Still Waters Run Deep" lyrics
"Still Waters Run Deep"
There goes the mystery woman
Keep well away
She's got trouble for you
So don't get in her way
Nothing to spare
As easy as that
She's standing there
All dressed up in black
With you life sewn up
While she's out on a limb
Say she'd better own up
Or she'll never win
She's out of line
Kick her when she's down
Queen of her kind
But she doesn't wear the crown
The darkness it grows
And the lady does not sleep
It's so hard to lose
And now it's so hard to weep
And the river flows
Still waters still run deep
She has a thorn in her side
A chip on her shoulder
Some heartache to hide
A lot of people to scold her
No one comes near
To set her free
They all live in fear
Thinking it's no place to be
There goes the mystery woman
Keep well away
She's got trouble for you
So don't get in her way
Nothing to spare
As easy as that
She's standing there
All dressed up in black
Though they may know
The sun shines while they sleep
Though they may show a smile
But wish to weep
The river flows
Still waters still run deep
Though they may know
The sun shines while they sleep
Though they may show a smile
But wish to weep
The rivers may flow
Still waters still run deep

I got on this airplane just to fly
And I know there's life below
But all that it can show me
Is the prairie and the sky

Full of...

And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere

They rain and snow on everyone

Tom Paxton - "Bottle Of Wine" Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober?
Let me alone, let me go home
Let me go back to start over

Singin' for nickels and dimes

They were burning babies, burning flags. The hawks against the doves

And I...
Tim Buckley - "Pleasant Street" You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
