Lyrics

Waterfall

Whiskey river, dirty water
Running through her and across my mouth
Like a lazy little sister
Whispers take me back to the house

Daily living keeps you busy
Lets you learn to do without
Funnel passion into your boredom
Then you'll see what this life's about

We don't have to keep up,
We don't have to slow down
Take the windey road up,
Take the long road down
We don't have give up,
we don't have to give out
Ride the windey road up
Ride the waterfall down

I'm the bane of my employers
Their petty mistakes I won't let fly
So I've never held a job long
Some other reason we get by

We don't have to give in,
We don't have to sell out
Take the long road up,
Take the short road down
We don't have to shut up,
We don't have to shout out
Ride the windey road up
Ride the waterfall down

So brush your hair back from your face dear
Hold my head in your two hands
As God is witness the selfish Fates here
Have come to reach out, up to your man

Braid the mane on your pretty pony
A daisy chain through your silver hair
I have come to love you only
I will chase you all the way there

We don't have to decide,
No need to figure it out
Take the windey road up,
Take the wrong way round
We don't have to forget,
don't have to write it down
Take the windey road up
Take the waterfall down

We don't have to give up,
We don't have to shut down
Take the sure road up,
Take the wrong road down
We will always make out,
let others know we're around
Ride the windey road up
Ride the waterfall down
