Joan Baez - Still waters ar Night Lyrics

Joan Baez
Gulf Winds
Still waters ar Night
Still waters at night in the darkest of dark
But you rise as white as the birch trees bark
Or pale wolf in winter you look down and shiver
At still waters at night

Your eyes are as black as the blackness you're fearing
And yonder a bridge and a voice within hearing
Come walk in me softly, look down and you'll see
Still waters at night

YOu've reason to fear there is no protection
But a garland of emeralds and a moonlit reflection
Of a boat in the distance, let the devil take his chance
At still waters at night

So dance me a small dance and the night cannot hurt you
Not the waters be silent nor the emeralds desert you
For the boats full of bright scarves and wild hats among them
Songs of the vagabond, it's to you he has sung them
Shattered the stillness of still waters at night
