"Over the Waterfall"
by: Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
album: Picnic
*Intro: , (x2)
Verse1
I slipped through your fingers
Into the clouds
Ran down the concrete hallways
Pushed through the crowd
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 (x2)
Over the waterfall
I fall down
*Verse2
Soldiers of fortune
Stand by your door
You can't remember
What you hired them for
You cleared your concience
And I left a stain
The beauty of sadness is
Feeling the pain
*Repeat Chorus
*Bridge
And only the sad stone man can hear my cry
And only the tall blue girl can see
I lost my way, I left no alibis
So no one will know you knew me
*Instrumental: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
*Verse3
Randomly speaking
Pieces of light
The clowns from the circus
Got drunk here last night
They talked of reunion
And then left on their own
What they've never known is
What you've always known
*Repeat Chorus
And all that's left of me now
Is waiting to drown
Over the waterfall (x2)
Over the waterfall
Over the waterfall (x2)
Over the waterfall
I fall down
