Waterfall - The Echoing Green

Autumn comes and the leaves turn brown

Ashes come and we all fall down

I wish I could find a way

To hold the day

Captive to the words you say

You know that it’s not easy

To lift these feelings

Up off the ground

And when I seem so distant

I feel your insistent love surround me…

Under the waterfall

I’m finally letting down my walls

Under the waterfall

All my burdens feel so small

Thunder comes and the sky turns gray

Evidence of the world astray

Sometimes it holds me down

With my eyes to the ground

To never see the light of day

Sometimes I feel like running away

On the grayest of days

And the darkest of nights

Yet you replace my sorrow

With the hope of tomorrow

And the coming of light

Under the waterfall

I’m finally letting down my walls

Under the waterfall

All my burdens feel so small

And if the only way to You was down

I’d willingly drown to find You there

Your whispering grace

The tears on your face

Filling the sea of forgiveness

Under the waterfall

I’m finally letting down my walls

Under the waterfall

All my burdens feel so small
