Lacy J. Dalton - Standing knee deep

There've been^D times in my life When I've felt out of touch and half-^Gcrazy ^ALost in a crowd with lovers and friends by my^D side

There's a ^Dnumbness I've known, All alone in some shimmering ^Gcity With ^Abright lights around me And nothing but shadows in^Dside

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^D nights 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 ^Dthirs^Bt

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 limitles^C#ms light That brings ^Aorder and might To the s^Eubstance 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 sta^Endin' knee deep in the ^Briver And dyin' of ^Athirst

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^B river And dyin' of ^Athirst
