A very sweet track from The Grateful Dead.
The kids really liked digging through what the lyrics might mean. If your cup is full, may it be again...
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 thru 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
chrous-
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
chorus-
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow....
You who choose too 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
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
