Harris, Emmylou - Beneath Still Waters Lyrics






Beneath still waters
There's a strong undertow
The surface won't tell you
What the deep water knows
Darling, I'm saying
I know something's wrong
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone

Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me
But each and every heart
Must take its turn at misery

And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone

Even a fool could see
That you'll soon be leaving me
But each and every heart
Must take its turn at misery

And this time it's me
And I'll cry alone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone

    This song is so pretty, it just can't sound any other way no matter who sings it, it seems. I melted over Rhonda Vincent's version and here I am now just buttered away over Emmylou's version. Dallas Fraizer sure wrote a winner with this one

  35. B.... R....

    She ranks with Patsy and very few others. They didn't set the bar, they are the bar. Everlasting.

  36. A.... M....

    Even more magical in person saw her in Boone, N.C. in 2006. She's bewitching.

  37. D.... B....

    this song went to #1 on the country charts in 1980!!!

    I love this song. Came out a year after I was born.

  42. F.... B....

    One of my very favorite country songs sung by one of the most beautiful voices in music. This song with Emmylou Harris's vocals and the instrumentation behind her is phenomenal!--- incredible !!

    F.... B....

    Fred Bentley This is by far my favorite. The voice and steel are awesome.

  43. B.... T....

  48. R.... W....

    Not only is her voice and the song beautiful ,but the lyrics are so true and beautiful!

  49. D.... A....

    This is one of those songs that all other versions will be compared to and found wanting. It is simply a classic, delivered by a beautiful voice with an excellent musical arrangement.

  50. s.... ....

    On this day in 1980 {April 19th} Billboard Magazine published it's Hot Country Singles chart for the week ending April 19th, 1980...
    And for the first time in Country Singles chart history the Top 5 positions were held by female artists:
    #1. "It's Like We Never Said Goodbye" by Crystal Gayle
    #2. "A Lesson in Leavin'" by Dottie West
    #3. "Are You on the Road to Lovin' Me Again" by Debby Boone
    #4. "Beneath Still Waters" by Emmylou Harris
    #5. "Two Story House" by Tammy Wynette (duet with George Jones)
    The following week Ms. West bumped Ms. Gayle out of the top spot, then Ms. Boone replaced Ms. West at #1, and finally Ms. Harris then moved into the #1 position {all four records spent one week each at #1}...
    "Two Story House" just missed reaching #1, it peaked at #2...

    s.... ....

    good stuff

  51. T.... G....

    UmmmmmmmmmmmmmmHummmmm Awesome Voice <3

  52. C.... F....

    this has to be my all time favourite Emmy lou song. what a voice....for a beautiful song

  53. C.... S....

    Last song, an old friend learned. Pattie Butler. 'til we meet again!

  54. R.... S....

    Mooi!!!

  55. j.... h....

    The only one ! No one else even close !

  56. l.... T....

    Her voice is just pure magic!!

  57. F.... B....

    I'm not country. I've passed by some farm fields and been to some barns in the State Fair. That's the extent of my country cred. I listen to very little country music, and even that would usually be old bluegrass, Western swing or rockabilly. This song, though, is different. Genre's irrelevant here. This song is universal in both lyrics and delivery.

    F.... B....

    Felix Bruyns I think the word you're searching for is "quality". And Emmylou is definitely country, i.e. the steel guitar.

  58. B.... W....

    beautiful voice beautiful song,First time i heard this song i cried.

    B.... W....

    Buetefol song

  59. d.... s....

    Surely Emmylou is up there with Joan Baez in the top ten of gorgeous voices the world of music is so lucky to have

    d.... s....

    duncan saint Joan Baez couldn't hold a candle to Emmylou Harris. there's no competition, Emmylou sings from the heart and experience. listen to her and Gram Parsons. that's a love story

  60. J.... ....

    Oh Lord...her voice is heaven sent............amazing...

    J.... ....

    So beautiful, both the music and Emmy Lou.

  61. A.... B....

    Just can't explain it...what a voice.....

  62. S.... R....

    love this song, so beautiful. ..

  63. J.... H....

    One of the greatest voices country music will ever have

    J.... H....

    and alwayes beautiful

  64. M.... C....

    so beautiful.

  65. t.... t....

    One of the most sweetest voices i have ever heard

  66. K.... S....
