Lyrics
Still Water
Chorus
Still water
Above where evergreens grow
Dark eyes
Hair white as the snow
As the first flowers break through
Girl remembers her life
Looking for her faith in still waters
No I won?t go
The sea can recede
But I can?t unwind the words that were spoken
I?m so afraid of being alone with you
One cold night in your backyard
A yellow light from your daddy?s bedroom
You were wearing blue but I couldn?t see your eyes
Chorus
No I won?t go
She said as she stood
Toe to toe with the man who had raised her
An old plaid shirt and slicked back hair
Hand on her shoulder and she didn?t care
A mixed up girl who pushed his love away
Chorus
Bridge
When sunrise is sunset and Paradise lost
And her future lays at her feet
In a land above stars she?ll dream about heaven
Summits and places of peace
Chorus
