still waters run deep
still waters run deep
still waters run deep
run deep
run deep
the sheriff's daughter
was a quiet one
I loved to watch her
watch the setting sun
but one day
it all came undone
the sky fell
and she had to run
she took his car
headed out of town
the posse chased her
just to run her down
but couldn't catch her
ran it to the ground
they found the car
but she was never found
the prosecutor
came to the sheriff's land
walked in the house
but couldn't understand
why all he found
was a broken man
who couldn't answer
just looked at his hands
and me I wait
at the county line
hoping she'll come back
no matter what she finds
I'll be her friend
I'll be her anodyne
but until then
I will keep this in mind
still waters run deep
still waters run deep
still waters run deep
run deep
run deep
the river is silent
the river is wide
dark brown with blood
only it can hide
and underneath the surface
its power abides
to keep secrets and shame
and foolish pride
still waters run deep
still waters run deep
still waters run deep
run deep
run deep

Revenge is Fun series. Millions of dollars are missing from the Venice Canals HOA and so are the Vice President and Treasurer. Were they kidnapped? Where is the money? Twists galore and a surprise ending with humor along the way.
When Goldie Silver receives the wrong shipment of antique Russian samovars at her shop in Juneau, Alaska they sell quickly but people begin to die. What makes those tea dispensers worth killing for?

All the elements of a good country song. A little mystery and a little love affair, all tied up in one package.
