Ripple

Grateful Dead

1. If my words did glow, with the gold of sunshine
   And my tunes, were played, on the harp unstrung
   Would you hear my voice, come through the music?
   Would you hold it near, as it were your own?

2. It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
   Perhaps they're better left unsung
   I don't know, don't really care
   Let there be songs, to fill the air

R: Ripple in still water,
   When there is no pebble tossed,
   Nor wind to blow

3. Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
   If your cup is full, may it be again
   That was not made, by the hands of men

4. There is a road, no simple highway
   Between the dawn, and the dark of night
   And if you go, no one may follow
   That path is for, your steps alone

R: Ripple in still water...

5. You who choose, to lead must follow
   But if you fall, you fall alone
   If you should stand, then who's to guide you?
   If I knew the way, I would take you home
