Ripple in Still Water

apophysis 2.02

Love this Grateful Dead Song, though my favorite version of it is with Jerry and David Grisman on the mandolin. Couldn’t find a decent clip of them performing it together so this one is good too. :o)

Lyrics:

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?

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

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

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

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

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

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

  • JenLand replied

    Grateful Dead. An American jam/rock band that had an almost cultish and very loyal following in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s until one of the founders, Jerry Garcia died in 1995.

    Very neat fractal, haven’t seen this shape before! I’ve heard this song many times, but sometimes great lyrics don’t come together until you read them, like for me reading these, very uplifting this a.m.!
