O'Sullivan, Gilbert - Where Peaceful Waters Flow Lyrics






When the world you live in
Really gets you down
When you feel a pain inside you
Starting to pound
And the girl you love
She doesn't want to know
Let an old friend as a Godsend
Lead you to where peaceful waters flow
And if the day you thought
Was drawing to a close
Just drags on and on till when
Only heaven knows
And the car you bought this morning doesn't go
Let an old friend as a Godsend
Lead you to where peaceful waters flow
There you'll find
Much to your pleasure
That you haven't got a care
All the worries you had in you
Are no longer there

Take my hand and I will lead you to a place
Where the sun will warm your heart
With all of its rays
And the sky at night
Has such a magic glow
It's feeling unbelieving
In a land where peaceful waters flow
Where you'll find
Much to your pleasure
That you haven't got a care
All the worries you had in you
Are no longer there
Follow me and I will lend you to a place
Where the sun will warm your heart
With all of its rays
And the sky at night
Has such a magic glow
It's a feeling unbelieving
In a land where peaceful waters flow
Where peaceful water flow
Take me to where peaceful waters flow
Take me back where peaceful waters flow

    [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about this great song by G.O'S.]: In terms of its lyrics, "Where Peaceful Waters Flows" does indeed remind me of "Bridge Over Troubled Water". But, musically, Mr O'Sullivan's 1973 composition is very different from the classic Simon & Garfunkel song, which topped the charts three years earlier, in 1970.

  10. w.... k....

    "When the world you live in really gets you down,

    When you feel a pain inside you starting to pound,

    When the bird you love, she doesn't want to know,

    Let an old friend, as a Godsend,

    Lead you to where peaceful waters flow."



    Beautiful song by Gilbert O'Sullivan from 1973; a classic. To tell the truth, it reminds me of Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel's famous "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (although, of course, in some respects the two tracks are very different).

  11. w.... k....

    Marvellous! What an excellent track "Where Peaceful Waters Flow" still is - almost four decades after Mr O'Sullivan wrote and recorded it.

    Until earlier this month (August '11), I had not heard this classic song by G.O'S, for over thirty years ! From now onwards, however, I intend to listen to it frequently.
    I must purchase a copy of Mr O'Sullivan's splendid 1973 album - "I'm A Writer, Not A Fighter" - as soon as possible.

  12. J.... ....

    I saw him on his first American visit. What a special evening that was.

  13. A.... W....

    Addictive!
