AHere we go round Ea-Again, masqueradin' as long 
lost friends.
ACause a memory never dies, it kinda fades into 
a lie, and, what da ya Dknow?
CHORUS:
Still waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
Still waters run Edeep, now, baby, old bridges 
burn Aslow.

ALet's chalk it all up to our youth.
That's one way to hide from the truth.
AI never asked you for a thing and if I had, you 
would have Etold me Dno.

Still waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
Still waters run Edeep, now, baby, old bridges 
burn Aslow.

CHORUS:
Still waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
Still waters run Edeep, now, baby, old bridges 
burn Aslow.
OUTRO:
Mmmmmmm-Emmm-don't ya know they burn Aslow?
In a way, I know and I Eknow, don't ya know they 
burn Aslow?
Still waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
Ahhhhh, Ehow they burn..(Fade.)
An Eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
