Ripplin’ Waters Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the I Want To Live album, and has also been released on the The Country Roads Collection album. 

Got ripplin' waters to wake me 

To be more than my woman in love 

All pine trees are pointin' to see easily 

To see heaven above 

Blue spruce flamin' on the grate in the evening 

Takes the chill away fine 

Cut the telephone line 

The story's the same 

There's a worn red chair by the window 

That you found at a sale down the way 

When some old women said that they 

Needed more room for the winter

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

People like pullin' at the stuffing 

When they sit down 

So it passes the time 

Cut the telephone line 

The story's the same 

Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day 

Start to flutter when I hear you say 

That you feel too good to go away 

And you make me feel fine 

And you made the world a warmer place 

By the sparkle of your diamond face 

On a gray spot with a little lace 

And you make me feel fine 

Warm as a mountain in sunshine 

On the edge of the snowline 

In a meadow of columbine

Oh little Gennifer 

I'd give a penny for 

What you've got on your mind 

Seems like most of the time you're lyin' there dreamin' 

Maybe in your vision you see how 

Our mission is slightly less than divine 

Cut the telephone line 

The story's the same 

Now, ripplin' waters flow through the ceiling 

And the walls there, their keepin' me warm 

And the closest I've been with my family for days 

Is my music 

But the silently stare in the morning sky 

Is like hearing her calling my name 

Cut the telephone line 

The story might change 

Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day 

Start to flutter when I hear you say 

That you feel too good to go away 

And you make me feel fine 

Warm as a mountain sunshine 

On the edge of the snowline 

In a meadow of columbine
