    Story Behind the Song
    It just appeared when I was in a trance like state - which is frequently! It took about 30 minutes to write - which is unusual.

    Lyrics
    The Waterfall

    There is a place, I remember well
    the morning air and the mist that fell
    on the ground.

    And she would laugh as we walked out there
    Through ghost gum trees and the misty air
    all around.

    Some sing of birds, the moon and trees.
    Though there is beauty in such as these,
    It's nothing like the beauty I recall
    When we would lie together
    Beside a waterfall.

    I saw her eyes and what they told.
    I held her hand and felt a cold
    cruel bitter chill.

    That last goodbye was barely heard,
    I whispered low the hardest word
    I ever will.

    Some sing of birds, the moon and trees.
    Though there is beauty in such as these,
    It cannot touch the memory I recall
    Of the one who lies forever
    Beside a waterfall.

    There is a place where I must go,
    I knew not then but now I know
    That tragic law.

    It's not the earth nor the seven seas,
    It lies within the mist and trees
    Forever more.

    Some sing of birds, the moon and trees.
    There is no time to think of these
    In thinking of the day when time will stall
    And we will lie forever
    Beside a waterfall.
