Beneath Still Waters - Emmylou Harris

Where have you been? Been searching all along Came facing twilight on and on Without a clue Without a sign Without grasping yet The real question to be asked Where have I been? I'm a shape shifter At Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind All free for you to draw I'm a shape shifter What else should I be? Please don't take off my mask Revealing dark Moments of calm Nothing left to be found A mirror right in front of me That's where I find An empty glass Reflecting the sad truth It's telling words not to be told I need the mask I'm a shape shifter At Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind All free for you to draw I'm a shape shifter Chained down to my core Please don't take off my mask My place to hide I can't tell you How to see me Just a cage of bones There's nothing inside Will it unleash me? Burning down the walls Is there a way For me to break? I'm a shape shifter At Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind All free for you to draw I'm a shape shifter Have no face to show Please don't take off my mask My disguise

I have returned from down under I've learned to breathe beneath the waters Beneath the waters I've returned to the light Beyond the waves of madness (Madness) Around my neck a stone tied Enduring crushing darkness Starless void of ageless night (Ageless night) Visions that none can utter Bound to the demons of the sea Till I became the hunter Dark dreams ever so far beneath Damned to descend and discover What dies down beneath never slumbers Beneath the waters I've returned to the light Beyond the waves of madness (Madness) Around my neck a stone tied Enduring crushing darkness Starless void of ageless night (Ageless night) Visions that none can utter Bound to the demons of the sea Till I became the hunter Dark dreams ever so far beneath So far beneath So far beneath Beyond the waves of madness (Madness) Around my neck a stone tied Enduring crushing darkness Starless void of ageless night (Ageless night) Visions that none can utter (Utter) Bound to the demons of the sea Till I became the hunter Dark dreams ever so far beneath So far beneath

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
