Robert Earl Keen - Over the Waterfall lyrics

rate me

I slipped through your fingers into the clouds

Ran down the concrete hallways

Pushed through the crowds.

I watched by the water

Reached for the sun

Why did I bother

What's done is done

Chorus

And all that's left of me now

Is waiting to drown

Over the waterfall (falling down)

Over the waterfall (falling down)

Over the waterfall (falling down)

I fall down

Soldiers of fortune

Stand by your door

You can't remember

What you hired them for

You cleared your conscience

And I left a stain

The beauty of sadness is

Feeling the pain

Chorus

And only the sad stone man can hear my cry

And only the tall blue girl can see

I lost my way I have no alibi

So no one will know you knew me

Randomly speaking

Pieces of light

The clowns from the circus

Got drunk here last night

They talked of reunion

Then left on their own

What they've never known

Is what you've always known.

Chorus
