Over The Waterfall Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

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.
