Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Ripplin' Waters lyrics

I got rippling waters to wake me

To the morning, my woman and love

Our 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 an old red chair by our window

That we found at a sale down the lane

Some old women said they needed more room for the winter

People like to pull 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 to good to go away

And you make me feel fine

You've made my world a warmer place

By the sparkle 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 snowline

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 here dreaming.

Maybe in your vision you've seen how our mission is slightly less than divine

Cut the telephone line and the story's the same

Yep, now rippling waters flow through pipes

In the walls and they're keeping me warm

And the closest I've been tomy family for days is our music

You can silently stare in themorning sky

It's like hearing her calling my name

Cut the telephone line and the story might change
