She walks beside troubled water
But only sees tranquility
Love’s ripples upon reflection
Keep her lonely heart company
The river in diamond glimmer
Cuts a ravine through rambling land
The troubled water rises up
As if to hold her trembling hand
She feels the river’s strong heartbeat
Following along her life trail
And though its waves seem turbulent
Its good intentions calm the vale
She walks beside troubled water
Though its roiled ruckus shows distress
She feels a soft, calmer current
Protecting her with gentleness
Deep and blue in its mystery
A roused redeemer as her guide
The wry river makes her shiver
For her own soul lives inside
