Old Bridges Burn Slowly Songtext

von Billy Joe Royal

Here we go 'round again
Masqueradin' as long lost friends
'Cause a memory never dies
It kinda fades into a lie
And what da ya know

Still waters run deep
Old s burn slow
Still waters run deep, now baby
Old s burn slow

Let's chalk it all up to our youth
That's one way to hide from the truth
I never asks you for a thing and if I had
You would have told me no

Still waters run deep
Old s burn slow
Still waters run deep, now baby
Old s burn slow

But how many years did I chase after you
All my mind would allow
But now I can't break off the past
And even if I knew how
Ah, I wouldn't tell it to you, baby

So why don't we call it a day
I got nothin' else left to say
'Cause a dream we both dreamt was
Just a last ditch attempt to stop the flow

Still waters run deep
Old s burn slow
Still waters run deep, now baby
Old s burn slow, mmm

Don't ya know they burn slow
In a way I know and I know
Don't ya know they burn slow
Still waters run deep
Old s burn slow

Ahh, how they burn
Don't ya know they burn slow
Still waters run deep
Old s burn slow
