Still Waters


A crimson rose
Glistens through the wine
While whispered words keep stirring up temptation

Those treasured plans
That lingered in my mind
Are fading in the search for new sensations

And there's a warm desire
Closing on me
In a hazy cloud of fantasy
Oh, please

Lay me down
By still water
And let me rest
This tired and weary soul
And in the light of better understanding
Maybe I'll live again (Live again)
Maybe I'll love again (Love again)
Oh, lay me down
By still water
Still water

Like a dream
Washed out in the rain
Drifting through a sea of shattered feelings
My life is cold
A fire without a flame
My promise just a word without a meaning

I'm like an autumn leaf
Falling free
My self control is failing me
Oh, please

Lay me down
By still water
And let me rest
This tired and weary soul
And in the light of better understanding
Maybe I'll live again (Live again)
Maybe I'll love again (Love again)
Oh, lay me down
By still water
Still water

(Lay me down)
(By still water)
(And let me rest)
(This tired and weary soul)
And in the light of better understanding
Maybe I'll live again (Live again)
Maybe I'll love again (Love again)
Oh, lay me down
By still water (Lay me down)
Still water (Lay me down)
