[00:16.693] Well I was shacked up down in Mobile
[00:19.678] With a girl from New York City.
[00:27.683] She woke me up one night to tell me
[00:30.694] That we weren't alone.
[00:39.130] She said she saw the ghost
[00:41.123] about a woman staring at me.
[00:49.885] I told her not to worry,
[00:51.641] But in the morning when I woke up, she was gone.
[00:59.884]
[01:02.390] So I headed on to Florida where
[01:05.133] I tangled with some sailors.
[01:13.129] And as I lay bloody on the wharf,
[01:15.887] I cursed the ship they sailed on.
[01:23.383] Wouldn't you know, twenty four hours later
[01:26.377] That ship sank into the ocean
[01:35.287] Disappearing like an unwanted memory
[01:40.050] Beneath the waves.
[01:42.047]
[01:47.035] I guess it's 'cause, still waters run,
[01:51.799] Run deep in me
[01:54.293] 'Cause I got this crazy way
[02:01.536] Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[02:12.744]
[02:21.510] And I was woke up just before dawn
[02:24.246] By an old man crying in the rain.
[02:32.748] He was drunk and he was lonely
[02:35.015] And as he passed by he sang a hymn.
[02:43.754] And as I lay there listening,
[02:46.256] Well I almost joined him in that song
[02:54.251] But instead I just held my peace,
[02:57.714] And waited 'till that old man moved along.
[03:06.970]
[03:07.209] Then later on that day about
[03:09.703] A quarter mile out of town,
[03:17.218] I found his body hanging in
[03:20.209] A grove of pines, swaying in the wind.
[03:28.975] And as he swang that rope sang another hymn
[03:33.204] To Jesus,
[03:39.452] And this time though I don't know why,
[03:42.212] I somehow felt inclined to sing along.
[03:48.918]
[03:51.122] I guess it's just ‘cause, still waters run,
[03:55.876] Run deep in me
[03:58.864] 'Cause I got this crazy way
[04:06.115] crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[04:14.759]
[04:26.507] Don't you know there are projects for the dead
[04:28.764] And there are projects for the living
[04:37.038] Thought I must confess sometimes
[04:39.514] I get confused by that distinction
[04:47.777] And I just throw myself into the arms
[04:51.210] Of that which would betray me.
[04:58.959] I guess to see how far Providence will stoop down just to save me.
[05:10.670]
[05:10.916] It's all because, still waters run,
[05:15.420] Run deep in me
[05:18.417] 'Cause I've got this crazy way
[05:26.179] Crazy way I'm swimming in still waters.
[00:16.693] Well I was shacked up down in Mobile
