The Pool Lyrics by Daniel Amos

Our Personal Favorite World Famous Hits

1986

[Spoken]
The pool is very deep and cool
And nothing here is hard to do
Nothing that should trouble you

[Verse 1]
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass this wanderer by
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Foaming blanket river beds

[Chorus]
I stand
Stand by the water, knee deep
Deep in the fountain, now down
I go under, then rise up
Rise up forever

[Verse 2]
The waves that mount and tumble high
I meet the melancholy sky
And all I have I count for loss
There in the clouds, one single cross

[Chorus]
I stand
Stand by the water, knee deep
Deep in the fountain, now down
I go under, then rise up
Rise up forever

[Spoken]
Yes, deeply I have slept
And now I rise as one who has gone down
Into the well springs of new life
Down across the milk-white sands
I wade out into the sleepy cove
And bathe in the holy stream
Then suddenly
I shatter the level mirror of the lake

[Chorus]
I go under, then rise up
Rise up forever

[Verse 3]
Upon an everlasting tide
Into the silent pool I glide
I plunge to wash this black heart clean
And rise a swan upon the wing

[Chorus]
I stand
Stand by the water, knee deep
Deep in the fountain, now down
I go under, then rise up
Rise up forever, now down
I go under, then rise up
Rise up forever, now down
I go under, then rise up
