Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

Salmon Falls

Each drop of rain falls a million times its own length

To crash upon this floor, and with its pain cause life to start anew

Each second fights its way magically through your entire life

Like a salmon traveling upstream to its final destination

And with his goal in sight, life ends - to start anew

Each man lives far beyond his span

And writhes the life of all mankind

And not until his kind has passed will he...

And not until he dies

Each second of your life conclude

And not until it crashes against the Earth

Will a drop of rain have fallen

Not until all men are dead

Will you die

And life will start anew

And you will have traveled a million times your own time

And magically

And magically

Salmon falls

Magically
