Ripple (Album Version)

Ripple - Jane's Addiction

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung

Would you hear my voice come through the music

Would you hold it near as it were your own

It's a hand-me-down the thoughts are broken

Perhaps they're better left unsung

I don't know I don't really care

Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water

Where there is no pebble tossed

Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty

If your cup is full may it be again

Let it be known there is a fountain

That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road no simple highway

Between the dawn and the dark of night

And if you go no one may follow

That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water

Where there is no pebble tossed

Nor wind to blow

When you who choose to lead must follow

But if you fall you fall alone

If you should stand then who's to guide

If I knew the way I would take you home
