Ripplin' Waters

Ripplin' Waters - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I got ripplin' waters to wake me

To the morning my woman and love

And tall pine trees are pointing

Us easily to Heaven above

Blue spruce flaming

On the grate in the evening

Takes the chill away fine

Cut the telephone line

And the story's the same

There's a worn red chair by the window

That we found at a sale down the way

When some old when a said that

They needed more room for the winter

People like pulling out the stuffing

When they sit down

So it passes the time

Cut the telephone line

And the story's the same

Blow like a bubble on a windy day

Start to flutter when I hear you say

That you feel too good to go away

And you make me feel fine

And you've made hole world a warmer place

By the sparkling of your diamond face

On a frayed spot put a little lace

And you make me feel fine

Warm as the mountain sunshine

On the edge of the snow line

In a meadow of Columbine

Oh little Jennifer I'd give a penny for

What you've got on your mind

It seems like most of the time

You're lying there dreaming

Maybe in your vision

You'll see how our mission

Is slightly less than divine

Cut the telephone line

And the story's the same

And now ripplin' waters flow through pipes

In the walls and they're keeping me warm

And the closest I've been to

My family for days is my music

But to silently stare in the morning sky

It's like hearing her calling my name

You cut the telephone line

And the story might change

Like a bubble on a windy day

Start to flutter when I hear you say

That you feel too good to go away

And you make me feel fine

And you've made my world a warmer place

By the sparkling of your diamond face

On a frayed spot put a little lace

Seen you make me feel fine

Warm as the mountain sunshine

On the edge of the snow line

In a meadow of Columbine
