Grateful Dead - Ripple lyrics

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine<br>And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,<br>Would you hear my voice come thru the music,<br>Would you hold it near as it were your own? <br><br>It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,<br>Perhaps they're better left unsung.<br>I don't know, don't really care<br>Let there be songs to fill the air.<br><br>Ripple in still water,<br>When there is no pebble tossed,<br>Nor wind to blow.<br><br>Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,<br>If your cup is full may it be again,<br>Let it be known there is a fountain,<br>That was not made by the hands of men.<br><br>There is a road, no simple highway,<br>Between the dawn and the dark of night,<br>And if you go no one may follow,<br>That path is for your steps alone.<br><br>Ripple in still water,<br>When there is no pebble tossed,<br>Nor wind to blow.<br><br>But if you fall you fall alone,<br>If you should stand then who's to guide you? <br>If I knew the way I would take you home.<br><br>La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da<br>La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da.
