|
Got ripplin¡¯ waters to wake me
|
To be more than my woman in love
|
All pine trees are pointin¡¯ to see easily
|
To see heaven above
|
|
Blue spruce flamin¡¯ on the grate in the evening
|
Takes the chill away fine
|
Cut the telephone line
|
The story¡¯s the same
|
|
There¡¯s a worn red chair by the window
|
That you found at a sale down the way
|
When some old women said that they
|
Needed more room for the winter
|
|
People like pullin¡¯ at the stuffing
|
When they sit down
|
So it passes the time
|
Cut the telephone line
|
The story¡¯s the same
|
|
Ooh, 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 made the world a warmer place
|
By the sparkle of your diamond face
|
On a gray spot with a little lace
|
And you make me feel fine
|
Warm as a mountain in sunshine
|
On the edge of the snowline
|
In a meadow of columbine
|
|
Oh little Gennifer
|
I¡¯d give a penny for
|
What you¡¯ve got on your mind
|
Seems like most of the time you¡¯re lyin¡¯ there dreamin¡¯
|
|
Maybe in your vision you see how
|
Our mission is slightly less than divine
|
Cut the telephone line
|
The story¡¯s the same
|
|
Now, ripplin¡¯ waters flow through the ceiling
|
And the walls there, their keepin¡¯ me warm
|
And the closest I¡¯ve been with my family for days
|
Is my music
|
|
But the silently stare in the morning sky
|
Is like hearing her calling my name
|
Cut the telephone line
|
The story might change
|
|
Ooh, 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
|
Warm as a mountain sunshine
|
On the edge of the snowline
|
In a meadow of columbine
|
