[00:16.693]Well I was shacked up down in Mobile
[00:19.678]With a girl from New York City.
[00:27.683]She woke me up one night to tell me
[00:30.694]That we weren't alone.
[00:39.130]She said she saw the ghost
[00:41.123]about a woman staring at me.
[00:49.885]I told her not to worry,
[00:51.641]But in the morning when I woke up, she was gone.
[00:59.884]
[01:02.390]So I headed on to Florida where
[01:05.133]I tangled with some sailors.
[01:13.129]And as I lay bloody on the wharf,
[01:15.887]I cursed the ship they sailed on.
[01:23.383]Wouldn't you know, twenty four hours later
[01:26.377]That ship sank into the ocean
[01:35.287]Disappearing like an unwanted memory
[01:40.050]Beneath the waves.
[01:42.047]
[01:47.035]I guess it's 'cause, still waters run,
[01:51.799]Run deep in me
[01:54.293]'Cause I got this crazy way
[02:01.536]Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[02:12.744]
[02:21.510]And I was woke up just before dawn
[02:24.246]By an old man crying in the rain.
[02:32.748]He was drunk and he was lonely
[02:35.015]And as he passed by he sang a hymn.
[02:43.754]And as I lay there listening,
[02:46.256]Well I almost joined him in that song
[02:54.251]But instead I just held my peace,
[02:57.714]And waited 'till that old man moved along.
[03:06.970]
[03:07.209]Then later on that day about
[03:09.703]A quarter mile out of town,
[03:17.218]I found his body hanging in
[03:20.209]A grove of pines, swaying in the wind.
[03:28.975]And as he swang that rope sang another hymn
[03:33.204]To Jesus,
[03:39.452]And this time though I don't know why,
[03:42.212]I somehow felt inclined to sing along.
[03:48.918]
[03:51.122]I guess it's just ‘cause, still waters run,
[03:55.876]Run deep in me
[03:58.864]'Cause I got this crazy way
[04:06.115]crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[04:14.759]
[04:26.507]Don't you know there are projects for the dead
[04:28.764]And there are projects for the living
[04:37.038]Thought I must confess sometimes
[04:39.514]I get confused by that distinction
[04:47.777]And I just throw myself into the arms
[04:51.210]Of that which would betray me.
[04:58.959]I guess to see how far Providence will stoop down just to save me.
[05:10.670]
[05:10.916]It's all because, still waters run,
[05:15.420]Run deep in me
[05:18.417]'Cause I've got this crazy way
[05:26.179]Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
