Song | Still Waters at Night |
Artist | Joan Baez |
Album | Gulf Winds |
作词 : Baez | |
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) | |
Still waters at night | |
In the darkest of dark | |
But you rise as white | |
As the birch tree's bark | |
Or a 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 on 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 | |
Will the devil take his chance | |
At still waters at night | |
So dance me a small dance | |
And the night cannot hurt you | |
Nor the waters be silent | |
Nor the emeralds desert you | |
For the boat's full of bright scarves | |
And wild hats among them | |
Songs of the vagabond | |
It's to you he has sung them | |
And shattered the silence | |
Of still waters at night | |

Still waters at night | |
In the darkest of dark | |
But you rise as white | |
As the birch tree' s bark | |
Or a 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 on 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 | |
Will the devil take his chance | |
At still waters at night | |
So dance me a small dance | |
And the night cannot hurt you | |
Nor the waters be silent | |
Nor the emeralds desert you | |
For the boat' s full of bright scarves | |
And wild hats among them | |
Songs of the vagabond | |
It' s to you he has sung them | |
And shattered the silence | |
Of still waters at night | |
