Beneath Still Waters
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
(Dallas Frazer)
Beneath still waters
There's a strong undertow.
The surface won't tell you
What the deep water knows.
Darling, I'm saying
I know something's wrong.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.
Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me.
But each and every heart
Must share there turn for misery.
This time it's me
And I'll cry alone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.
Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me.
But each and every heart
Must share there turn for misery.
And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone...
Beneath still waters
There's a strong undertow.
The surface won't tell you
What the deep water knows.
Darling, I'm saying
I know something's wrong.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.
Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me.
But each and every heart
Must share there turn for misery.
This time it's me
And I'll cry alone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.
Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me.
But each and every heart
Must share there turn for misery.
And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone.
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone...
