I?ve got ripplin water to wake me, to the mornin my woman in love,
                                                 
And tall pine trees are are pointen us easily to heaven above.
                                                                   
Blue spruce flamin on the grate in the evenin, takes the chill a way fine,
                                    
Cut the telephone line the stories the same.
                                                                       
There?s a worn red chair by the window, that we found at a sale down the way,
                                                            
When some old women said that they needed more room for the winter.
                                                                               
But people like pullen out the stuffin when they sit down, and so it passes the time;
                                     
Cut the telephone line the stories the same.


CHORUS:
                                                                      
Oooooooh like a bubble on a windy day, start to flutter when i here ya say,
                                
That you feel to good to go away
                                                             
And you make me feel fine, and you?ve made my world a warmer place,
                                                                        
By the sparklin of your diamond face------on a frayed spot put a little lace
                                                     
And you make me feel fine, warm as the mountain sunshine,
        E                  B        E                   A--------E A G A
On the edge of the snowline, in a meadow of columbiiiiiiiiiiines


VERSE 2:
                                                            
Oh little Jennifer I?d give a penny for whatcha got on your mind,
                                              
Seems  like most of the time your lyin there dreamin...but...
                                                                       
Maybe in your vision you?ll see how are mission is, slightly less than devine,
Em                 B7                    E--------G A
Cut the telephone line, the stories the same.
                                                                          
And now ripplin waters flow through pipes in the walls and it's keepin me warm,
                                                       
And the closest I?ve been to my family for days is my music.
                                                                     
But the silent stare in the mornin? sky, is like hearin her callin my name
                                            
You cut the telephone line the story might--- change. CHORUS---------E A repeat END
