Ripple Songtext
von Rick Danko

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harps unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It′s a hand me down (it's a hand me down) the thoughts are broken
Perhaps (perhaps) they′re better (they're better) left unsung
I don't know (I don′t know), don′t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

And ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand (reach out your hand) if your cup be empty
If your cup (your cup) is full (is full), may it be again
Let it be known (let it be known), there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men


There's a road (there′s a road), no simple highway
Between (between) the dawn (the dawn) and the dark of night
But if you go (but if you go), no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed, nor wind to blow
And you who choose (and you who choose) to lead must follow
But if (but if) you fall (you fall), you'll fall all alone
If you should stand (if you should stand), then who′s to guide you?
If I knew the way, I would take you home

La, la, la (la, la, la, la) la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la (la, la) la, la (la, la) la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la (la, la, la, la) la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la (la, la, la, la) la, la, la, la, la, la
(La, la) la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la (la, la, la, la) la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
