Your roads have all been easy

And your days have all been warm

And you've been blessed with common sense

And beauty in your form

You thought that this was just another

Simple stream to cross

But you've got one foot over the waterfall

And the rock is slick with moss



Chorus: One foot over the waterfall

And the shore is not in sight

One foot over the waterfall

On a dark and windy night

One foot over the waterfall

Will you ever get across?

One foot over the waterfall

And the rocks are slick with moss



In all your years of training

And all the school you've had

They never told you how to deal

With something quite this bad

Your bones are full of jelly

And your heart is full of drumming

You've got one foot over the waterfall

And you never saw it coming



The situation's hopeless

There's no one on your side

And more than almost anything

You'd love to run and hide

It won't get any easier

There's next to zero chance

And you've got one foot over the waterfall

So you might as well start to dance



It isn't always easy

To move along with grace

Sometimes in spite of all you do

You end upon your face

But if you try with all your might

To dance this dizzy track

Someone out beyond the
