More in my face, Than is my taste; I grow so weary I'll surrender. To what they say, Let them lead the way; Till' I can no longer remember. My darling dreams Prewritten scenes, Whatever felt my own! So to save face, I'll take my place, Where I may safely feel alone…
Refrain: Glad the waters are so shallow, When the river runs so cold; Glad the waters are so shallow, When the river runs cold; Glad the waters are so shallow, When the river runs so cold; Glad the waters are so shallow, When the river runs cold. I'm quick to wait, Too slow to take; They call me gracious for my patience, And I feel proud Under that shroud, And all the while it's all evasion. Some humor here To fend off fear, And I'm a little more lost, oh dear!.. So to save face I'll hold my place. So I may safely feel alone...
Refrain.
Glad the waters are so Shallow… Glad the waters are so Shallow…
