Waterfall Lyrics

I've heard the waterfall roaring again
Since I've been lovin' you
With my poor heart in my throat I begin
Living a dream come true
Tumblin' down comes the waters
Tickling every stone
On the edge trembling, I totter
My fate unknown
But my fear has flown
Cause' your love came to lead me home

Waterfall song in my ears
Prasin' its thunderous source
Just as my heart praises you and me here
True love's the wondrous force
Tumblin' down comes the waters
Tickling every stone
Rumbling gravity falters
Since dawn has shown
How night's overthrown
And love comes to lead us home

From a small trickle it grows
Watching, I wait enthralled
'Til its momentum will carry the flow
Over the rushing falls
Tumbling down comes the waters
Tickling every stone
Pass the sun's rays growin' hotter
The cascades drones
Through glistening falls
Like love comes to lead us home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've read a few versions and I'm pretty sure this isn't right. E.g.: 'How nice overthrown' should be 'How night's overthrown', (it's unlikely that any songwriter would use the word 'nice' in their writing). 'Swords' should also be 'Source', 'Watching a wait in front': 'Watching I wait enthralled' and 'Through glistening falls': 'Through glistening foam'.
