歌词

[00:40.02] Well I was shacked up down in the mobile
[00:41.10] With a girl from New York city
[00:48.15] She woke me up one night to tell me
[00:51.45] That we weren't alone.
[00:59.07] She said she saw the ghost
[01:01.32] of a woman staring at me
[01:10.11] I told her not to worry
[01:12.75] But in the morning when I woke up,She was gone
[01:22.23] So I headed on to Florida
[01:25.29] Where I tangled with some sailors
[01:34.17] And as I laid bloody on the wharf
[01:36.39] I cursed the ship they sailed on
[01:43.62] Wouldn't you know,twenty four hours later
[01:46.92] That ship sank into the ocean
[01:55.83] Disappearing like an unwanted memory
[02:00.54] Beneath the waves
[02:06.72] I guess it's 'cause, still waters run,
[02:09.69] Run deep in me
[02:09.99] Cause I got this crazy way...
[02:21.66] Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[02:41.79] And I was woke up just before dawn
[02:45.21] By an old man crying in the rain.
[02:52.86] He was drunk and he was lonely
[02:56.13] And as he passed by he sang a hymn.
[03:04.17] And as I lay there listening,
[03:06.15] Well I almost joined him in that song...
[03:14.40] But instead I just held my peace,
[03:17.97] And waited 'till that old man moved along.
[03:27.27] Then later on that day about
[03:30.00] A quarter mile out of town,
[03:37.50] I found his body hanging in
[03:40.38] A grove of pines, swaying in the wind.
[03:49.23] And as he swang that rope sang another hymn
[03:50.91] To Jesus,
[03:59.97] And this time though I don't know why,
[04:03.06] I somehow felt inclined to sing along.
[04:11.37] I guess it's cause, still waters run,
[04:14.28] Run deep in me
[04:14.58] ' Cause I got this crazy way...
[04:26.73] crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[04:30.15] Yes and there are projects for the dead
[04:48.99] And there are projects for the living...
[04:51.57] Thought I must confess sometimes
[04:59.97] I get confused by that distinction...
[05:07.92] And I just throw myself into the arms
[05:11.67] Of that which would betray me.
[05:19.56] I guess to see how far Providence
[05:23.79] Will stoop down just to save me.
[05:30.63] And it's all because, still waters run,
[05:31.41] Run deep in me...
[05:31.77] 'Cause I've got this crazy way...
[05:46.08] Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters
