Intro :
Still waters at n ight in the darkest of da rk
but you rise as w hite as the birch tree's ba rk.
Or a pale wolf in w inter you look down and sh iver
at still w aters at n ight.
Your eyes are as b lack as the blackness you're fe aring
and yonder a b ridg e and a voice within he aring.
Come walk on me softly look down and yo u'll see
still w aters at n ight.
You've r eason to f ear there is no prot ection
but a g arland of e meralds and a moonlit ref lection
of a boat in the d istance will the devil take his chance
at still w aters at n ight.
So dance me a s mall d ance and the night cannot h urt you
nor the waters be s ilen t nor the emeralds dese rt you.
For the boat's full of bright scarves and wild hats amo ng them
songs of the v agabond it's to you he has s ung them
and shattered the s ilence of still w aters at (Outro) night.
