Alta Falls Songtext
von The Barr Brothers

1) On The Second Day of june.
BeNeath, an 'aLmost cresceNt moon -
'We played /eChoes\ . with thE fireflies'.
You were aLmost, Seventeen.
On, the bright-side of a 'dReam -
BLowing kisses .to the paper'boy.
ANd the ribbons, tHat we drew .
-On Magnolia 'Avenue . was September
'Before they all washed away.
We weRe dabbLing iN the daRk .
- Gettting lOst in /echoe\ park . 'Heard
The 'elujahs ... on the radio.
At the tolliNg of a' bell -
\Rays'/ of sUnlight 'moRning fell.
CLouds cast' a shadow .
-On the fields below.
*\/* ** all my words come tumbLing down-
Like Violets' in your pearls or, maybe- it's just this kind'of -wrEcK.
'ThAt gOes diviNg foR the pearls /tell all my' -sheeples'- and /chains'\
Come-on that i'm a- weLded to tHe worLd...
Was there soul,{salt?} long a-go. **


2) with my nickels in the sand, holding water in my hand.
It's apparent beneath the .(++++"+++). sweet.
You were running with balloons'.
And' .some were yellow and' some were -blue.
Tapping +//////+ and you let' them go.
But \eye/ wanted- to 'convey-
That it was,. more thAn i' cAn -say.
Was how' BeautifuL, that i' thought' that it was.
'You were aLmost seventeen, on tHe bright side of a 'DReam. Blowing Kisses -to the paperboy.
** aLL my words come tumbLing down-Like Violets in your pearls **
Oh, maYbe its just this kind'of man-

TeLL aLL my \shacKles'and'chains/ -'come-off'
Im 'a' dEviL .to the world
ALL my Leaves come apart- and break down and it'
-Happens for the birds-
Maybe- its just this kind 'of -man that
Goes diving -FOr the' pearl.
Tell all my 'wheels and 'peeps. /come'off\ .
That im Rebel. to the world.
'* was there soul .long a-go.*'
*Was there . .soul -long ago.*
