Waterfall Songtext
von Michael Franks

Waterfall, I recall
You were born inside a raindrop
When the drop slipped out
Of an orchid′s mouth

You were much too small to tumble
You could neither roar nor rumble
Not a cymbal crash, you could barely splash
Over little stones you stumbled


Then begins the slow connection
In some H2O affection
Very serpentine
How your parts combine
And agree on one direction

Iguazu, is it true
You were once an April shower?
A few crystal beads
On a bamboo reed?

Do you still believe you're strongest?
That your river runs the longest?
Wait till you release
In a sea of peace
With the love you longed for longest
