Waterwheel

Lyrics

The Ellison and Verde meet In deeply riven stone Then through the waterwheel they flow Beyond the gorge conjoined

A spiral serpent marks the trail Towards the swimming hole “The Falls,” it’s called. Where locals play Just up around the knoll

Beautiful falls, sorrow falls too… Waterwheel, ever calling For you

Beautiful falls, sorrow falls too… Waterwheel, ever calling For you

The desert heat makes mountain air A welcome destination They beeline up the two-lane road No hint of hesitation

A thunderstorm on blackened hills The warning never heard Family in celebration, now… Destroyed without a word

Beautiful falls, sorrow falls too… Waterwheel, ever calling For you

Beautiful falls, sorrow falls too… Waterwheel, ever calling For you

The canyon keeps its ancient shape No memory, no blame The waterwheel accepts it all And starts again the same

Beautiful falls, sorrow falls too… Waterwheel, ever calling For you

Beautiful falls, sorrow falls too… Waterwheel, ever calling For you
