Still waters at night In the darkest of dark But you rise as white As the birch trees bark Or a pale wolf in winter You look down and shiver At still waters at night Your eyes are as black As the blackness youre fearing And yonder a bridge And a voice within hearing Come walk on me softly Look down and youll see Still waters at night Youve reason to fear There is no protection But a garland of emeralds And a moonlit reflection Of a boat in the distance Will the devil take his chance At still waters at night So dance me a small dance And the night cannot hurt you Nor the waters be silent Nor the emeralds desert you For the boats full of bright scarves And wild hats among them Songs of the vagabond Its to you he has sung them And shattered the silence Of still waters at night
