More in my face than is my taste    I grow so weary I'll surrender    to what they say Let them lead the way    Till' I can no longer remember    my darling dreams Prewritten scenes,    whatever felt my own    So to save face I'll take my place    Where I may safely feel alone       Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs so cold    Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs cold    Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs so cold    Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs cold       I'm quick to wait, and so to hate    They call me gracious for my patience    And I feel proud under that shroud    And all the while it's all evasion       Some humor here to fend off fear    And I'm a little more lost, oh dear    So to save face I'll hold my place    So I may safely feel alone       Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs so cold    Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs cold    Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs so cold    Glad the waters are so shallow    When the river runs cold
