Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't trouble the water

(I won't) Leave it alone

Why don't you, why don't you let it be?

Still water run deep, yes it do

(I know that)

Whoa yeah

(If you only believe)

[Verse 2]

Don't trouble the water

(Said I wouldn't) Leave it alone

Why don't you, why don't you let it be?

Still water run deep, yes it do

Whoa yeah

(If you only believe)

[Verse 3]

When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you

[Verse 4]

I'll take your part

Oh, when darkness comes

And pain is all, is all around

Just like a bridge

Over troubled water

I will lay me down

(Like a bridge) Just like a bridge

Over troubled water

I will lay me down

[Verse 5]

Sail on silver, girl

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

[Verse 6]

See how they shine?

Ooh, and if you ever need a friend

Look around, I'm sailin' right behind

Just like a bridge

Over troubled water

I'll be there to lay me down

Like a bridge

Over troubled water

I will lay me down

Ooh, I'll be your bridge, yes I will

[Verse 7]

Don't trouble the water

(Said I wouldn't) Leave it alone

(Well) Why don't you, why don't you let it be?

Still water run deep (I know that), yes it do

(Yeah) Whoa yeah

(Still water) Don't trouble the water

(Yeah) Leave it alone

Why don't you, why don't you let it be?

(Talkin' 'bout still water) Still water run deep, yes it do

(You know they run deep) Yes it do

Whoa yeah

(Well I'm gonna be your bridge, yeah) Don't trouble the water

(The troubled water) Leave it alone

(Oh) Why don't you, why don't you let it be?

(Come one, come one, walk out on me) Still water run deep
