GreenChoby: Listen/Lyrics
Quiet Waters
What would you say to me, if I set it free, all of the things in my heart, every word. Well, would you run away, safer not to stay, and leave this here, walk out the door.
Well I wouldn't blame you one bit, If you were to up and quit and leave this here forever.
Chorus: Well I don't want no one to tell me where I'm goin' I guess that's why I'm as lost as I am. So lead me down to quiet waters, I'm lost and lonely, lead me by the hand.
Well, now I know that I've been given one more try, one more time around this old wheel.
And in the dark of night, I'm prayin' just to see the light, praying that we could be together.Chorus: Seasons change sometimes without knowin', flowers can bloom out of dry and dusty sand. So lead me down to quiet waters, I'm not so lonely when you lead me by the hand, Tag: I'm not so lonely when you lead me by the hand.
Bonus Track: THE TUNNEL
(written by Carolyn Green)I was cold at your bedside, despite long-sleeves and Florida heat. Sat on the plastic chair, smearing the tears from my cheeks. You were labored with breathing, and as I stared at your face, I couldn't help but recall the history it traced.
All I had to do was to try and give you comfort. But this was hard to do when I had none of my own. I remember you taking walks with me around the block.
So we stayed at your bedside, my mother's sister and I. And we placed your hand in our hands and told you how we'd all be fine. And as the time stretched out before us, we'd talk as much as we could. And we'd name every name of the loved ones who loved you.
And it was hard to know just what you were thinking. You were scared, we know, but we tried to build your faith. When the end appeared, it happened much more slowly than I'd thought..
Chorus:
So did you hear me in the tunnel? As the darkness grew to light. Was the voice of your granddaughter fading to quiet? And did an angel's smile embrace you, as we do here all believe? Was the voice of your granddaughter fading to music?We all gathered for the funeral. Family flew to the site. Even just for a few hours, my brother flew all night. And as I looked upon these faces, of all these people who had come, there was comfort in seeing all of the lives you touched.
And in this fellowship, we remembered all you taught us. We even laughed a bit, but it was strange that you weren't there. In the emptiness I cherished those few days in that plastic chair.
