(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Still waters at night
3
In the darkest of dark
4
But you rise as white
5
As the birch tree's bark
6
Or a pale wolf in winter
7
You look down and shiver
8
At still waters at night
9
Your eyes are as black
10
As the blackness you're fearing
11
And yonder a bridge
12
And a voice within hearing
13
Come walk on me softly
14
Look down and you'll see
15
Still waters at night
16
You've reason to fear
17
There is no protection
18
But a garland of emeralds
19
And a moonlit reflection
20
Of a boat in the distance
21
Will the devil take his chance
22
At still waters at night
23
So dance me a small dance
24
And the night cannot hurt you
25
Nor the waters be silent
26
Nor the emeralds desert you
27
For the boat's full of bright scarves
28
And wild hats among them
29
Songs of the vagabond
30
It's to you he has sung them
31
And shattered the silence
32
Of still waters at night
