Jim White - Still Waters lyrics
Well I was shacked up down in the mobile
 With a girl from New York city
 She woke me up one night to tell me
 That we weren't alone.
 She said she saw the ghost
 of a woman staring at me
 I told her not to worry 
 But in the morning when I woke up,She was gone
 So I headed on to Florida
 Where I tangled with some sailors
 And as I laid bloody on the wharf
 I cursed the ship they sailed on
 Wouldn't you know,twenty four hours later
 That ship sank into the ocean
 Disapearing like an unwanted memory 
 Beneath the waves
 I guess it's 'cause, still waters run, 
 Run deep in me
 Cause I got this crazy way... 
 Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
 And I was woke up just before dawn 
 By an old man crying in the rain.
 He was drunk and he was lonely 
 And as he passed by he sang a hymn.
 And as I lay there listening, 
 Well I almost joined him in that song... 
 But instead I just held my peace, Jim White - Still Waters - http://motolyrics.com/jim-white/still-waters-lyrics.html
 And waited 'till that old man moved along.
 Then later on that day about 
 A quarter mile out of town,
 I found his body hanging in 
 A grove of pines, swaying in the wind.
 And as he swang that rope sang another hymn 
 To Jesus,
And this time though I don't know why, 
 I somehow felt inclined to sing along.
 I guess it's cause, still waters run, 
 Run deep in me
 ' Cause I got this crazy way... 
 crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
 Yes and there are projects for the dead 
 And there are projects for the living... 
 Thought I must confess sometimes 
 I get confused by that distinction... 
 And I just throw myself into the arms 
 Of that which would betray me.
 I guess to see how far Providence 
 Will stoop down just to save me.
 And it's all because, still waters run, 
 Run deep in me... 
 'Cause I've got this crazy way... 
 Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters
