NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND - Ripplin' Waters lyrics

rate me

I got rippling waters to wake me<br>To the morning, my woman and love<br>Our tall pine trees are pointing us easily to heaven above<br>Blue spruce flaming on the grate in the evening<br>Takes the chill away fine<br>Cut the telephone line and the story's the same<br><br>There's an old red chair by our window<br>That we found at a sale down the lane<br>Some old women said they needed more room for the winter<br>People like to pull out the stuffing when they sit down<br>So it passes the time<br>Cut the telephone line and the story's the same<br><br>Blow like a bubble on a windy day<br>Start to flutter when I hear you say<br>That you feel to good to go away<br>And you make me feel fine<br>You've made my world a warmer place<br>By the sparkle of your diamond face<br>On a frayed spot, put a little lace<br>And you make me feel fine<br>Warm as the mountain sunshine<br>On the edge of the snowline<br>In a meadow of columbine<br><br>Oh, little jennifer, I'd give a penny for<br>What you've got on your mind<br>It seems like most of the time you're lying here dreaming.<br>Maybe in your vision you've seen how our mission is slightly less than divine<br>Cut the telephone line and the story's the same<br><br>Yep, now rippling waters flow through pipes<br>In the walls and they're keeping me warm<br>And the closest I've been tomy family for days is our music<br>You can silently stare in themorning sky<br>It's like hearing her calling my name<br>Cut the telephone line and the story might change
