Beneath Still Waters
Osborne Brothers · Osborne Brothers 2 (1968-1974) [Bear Family] [1995]
(Dallas Frazier)
Beneath still waters there's a strong underflow
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 their 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 their turn for misery
This time it's me and I'll cry alone
Beneath still waters your love is gone...
Beneath still waters there's a strong underflow
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 their 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 their turn for misery
This time it's me and I'll cry alone
Beneath still waters your love is gone...
