lyrics

STILL WATERS

Never thought your eyes would look at me and say
All the holy water
In the world can’t wash this away
Never thought our ship would go down so quietly
It hit the iceberg
Heading for the open sea and

Still waters run deep
Cover me when I’m asleep
Dream it all away
Dream it all away and
Wash me clean

When they carved me up they took my heart
I put it in a chapel
Erected to my vanity
You and I both know that’s not the start
I was overboard
Before I ever thought about mortality and

Still waters run deep
Cover me when I’m asleep
Dream it all away
Dream it all away and
Wash me clean

Once you said that I was beautiful,
Mysterious woman
The world caught fire as I entered the room
Did the scales fall from your eyes?
Did you learn that woman
From the dawn of time was born for lies and

Still waters run deep
Cover me when I’m asleep
Dream it all away
Dream it all away and
Wash me clean

But you, you held me
In the throes of birth
When I diced with death
When I fought for breath
Yes you, you loved me
All my flesh and bone
All too close to home
Why should I wish to be free

I’ll wish myself alone on the strand
Watching the ice-floes
Dreaming of your tender hand
Do you think that I can’t understand
We have made so much
That was greater than the two of us and

Still waters run deep
Cover me when I’m asleep
Dream it all away
Dream it all away and
Wash me clean

Dream it all and dream it all and
Dream it all and dream it all and
Dream it all and dream it all away
