Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm

Verse 1

Still water holds your name

I move slow like the moon

No ripple when I call

You float past my room

Soft feather on the glass

You never make a sound

I watch the lantern pass

And circle back around

Pre-Chorus

Meet me where the reeds grow tall

Meet me where the night is deep

I'll be waiting by the shallows

While the rest of them still sleep

Chorus

Quiet duck on the lake

You glide where I can't go

Quiet duck won't you wake

Let the still water know

Verse 2

Morning steals your silver line

The fog drinks up the shore

I leave a trail of pine

And linger at your door

Your shadow bends like silk

Your wings hold the cool air

I'd trade a hundred suns

For one feather in my care

Pre-Chorus

Meet me where the reeds grow tall

Meet me where the night is deep

I'll be waiting by the shallows

While the rest of them still sleep

Chorus

Quiet duck on the lake

You glide where I can't go

Quiet duck won't you wake

Let the still water know

Bridge

Hush the current

Hush the tide

Moonlight listens

Nothin' hides

Chorus

Quiet duck on the lake

You glide where I can't go

Quiet duck won't you wake

Let the still water know

Let the still water know
