Lyrics

Sittin’ by the river on a slippery rock
Gotta catch a grip or swim
We’re shakin’ hands as I’m takin’ a toke
Tossed the last half in
Since I heard word
That you was gone
Can’t you hear me callin’ over the waterfall?

Yeah, I’m swimmin’ here river’s runnin’ along
Singin’ a canyon song
The babble rabbles on in babylon
That battle goes on and on
Your shot rang out
Like a cannonball
I couldn’t hear it over the waterfall
Your shot rang out
Just like a cannonball
We couldn’t hear you over the waterfall

A man’s standin there on top o’ the crag
Draggin’ his feet to jump
Some say the drop it kills ya…
Often it’s the sudden stop.
From on top of the twenty-foot-twenty feet tall
Best mind your step, watch where you fall
We can’t see you over the waterfall
There from on top of the thirty-foot-thirty feet tall
Best mind your step, watch where you fall
We can’t see you over the waterfall

A storm is born to settle the score
‘Day Karma laid down to die
The great escape - it’s a losin’ game
But oh lord, he tried
Well he might be lost, but he ain’t gone
When I sing your song your sorrow’s drawn
So close I can feel you over the waterfall
Yeah, you might be lost, but you ain’t gone
When I sing your song your water’s drawn
So close I can feel you over the waterfall
