Niagara Lyrics

I can't believe what you told me

And how you're holding my hand

That in this dwindling family I'm the only man.

I guess I thought he was happy

I thought he liked it at home

Though he didn't really laugh

And he was usually stoned.

He's got his barrel, he's ready for the waterfall

I hope he knows what he's doing.

He could sing when he wanted to

He'd take the room in his hand

He had a lady and van and weakness for sand.

He used to dream about the ocean

About taking to the sea

We lost our daddy in a schooner, he was just turning three.

He's got his barrel, he's ready for the waterfall

He brought his clothes to the Goodwill where he bought 'em from

He never once looked back

One time I drove up to the falls

I looked right over

I felt so lonely

Maybe I felt like you

I was never ready for the waterfall

I never had much of a plan

I thought, someday I'll drive from Niagara

Content to take my chances.
