Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
[Verse]
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[Chorus]
Even a fool could see
That you’ll soon be leaving me
But each, and every heart
Must share their turn, at misery
This time it’s me, and I’ll cry alone
Beneath still waters, your love is gone[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Even a fool could see
That you’ll soon be leaving me
But each, and every heart
Must share their turn, at misery
This time it’s me, and I’ll cry alone
Beneath still waters, your love is gone[Outro]
Beneath still waters
Your love is gone
