Records in 1987.
INTRO: A  
#1.
AHere we go round Ea-Again, masquerading as long 
lost friends, cause a memory never dies, 
it kinda fades into a lie and what do you Dknow?
CHORUS:
DStill waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
AStill waters run Edeep now, baby, old bridges
burn Aslow.
#2.
ALet's chalk it all up to our youth, that's one 
way to hide from the truth.
I never asked you for a thing and if I had you
would have Etold me, Dso. 
CHORUS:
DStill waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
AStill waters run Edeep now, baby, old bridges
burn Aslow.
BRIDGE:
But Dhow many years did I chase after you, all my
Gmind would allow.
But now I can't Bbreak off the past and even if I 
knew Ehow.
(Ahhhh, I wouldn't tell it to you, baby.)
INTERLUDE:  E   Gbm   A   D   E  A  
#3.
ASo, why don't we call it a day, I got nothing else 
left to say, cause a dream we both dreamt 
Was just a last ditch attempt to stop the Dflow.
CHORUS:
DStill waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
AStill waters run Edeep now, baby, old bridges
burn Aslow.
OUTRO:
AMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-Edon't you know they burn Aslow.
AIn a way I know and I Eknow, don't you know they 
burn Aslow.
Still waters run Edeep, old bridges burn Aslow.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..Ehow they burn..
don't ya know they burn Aslow..(Fade.)
An eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
