Lacy J. Dalton - Standin knee deep

There've been ^Dtimes in my life when I've felt out of touch and half- ^Gcrazy ^ALost in a crowd with lovers and friends by my ^Dside

There's a ^Dnumbness I've known, all alone in some shimmering ^Gcity With ^Abright lights around me and nothing but shadows in- ^D-side

There've been ^Gdesperate times when my ^Bmheart was so dry that I ^Dfelt like my life was a ^Gcurse I was ^Dstandin' knee deep in the ^Ariver and dyin' of ^Dthirst

There are ^Dmonths at a time when no reason nor rhyme can sus- ^Gtain me When ^Anothin' makes sense and everything turns upside- ^Ddown

There are ^Dnights when I fight to keep dreamin' from driving me ^Gcrazy And I ^Ashut off my mind just to keep it from spinnin' a- ^Dround

But it's ^Gdown in that quiet in that ^Bmstillness I find the sweet ^Dwater for which I've longed ^Gsearched While ^Dstandin' knee deep in the ^Ariver and dyin' of ^Dthirst ^B

So if ^Eyou're having times when you feel out of touch and half- ^Acrazy ^BLost in a crowd with lovers and friends by your ^Eside

If the ^Egame's getting old and you're cold and exhausted and may- ^Abe You'd ^Bjust like to cop-out and crumble or lay down and ^Edie

If you ^Acome to a time when you ^C#mneed to decide, friend, you ^Emight want to ask yourself ^Afirst Am I ^Estandin' knee deep in the ^Briver and dyin' of ^Ethirst?

'Cause there's a ^C#mgreat river runs from the ^Aheart of the sun through the ^Esoul of the whole uni- ^Averse From the ^C#mlimitless light that brings ^Aorder and might to the ^Esubstance of Heaven and ^BEarth

And it's ^C#mdown in that quiet, in that ^Astillness inside, there's a ^Ewell we don't seek 'til we ^Ahurt From ^Estandin' knee deep in the ^Briver and dyin' of ^Ethirst

Yes, ^C#mdown in that quiet, in that ^Astillness inside are sweet ^Ewaters to heal this whole ^AEarth --- That is ^Estandin' knee deep in the ^Briver, ^Estandin' knee deep in the ^Briver We're all ^Estandin' knee deep in the ^Briver and dyin' of ^Athirst
