lyrics

The bar's full of border guards ahving a ball
Newlyweds next door knocking down the wall
These bordertown water towns always make me think of you
But if you would come and meet me in this tourist town
I'd love you like that waterfall craching down
Pull yourself together, girl, and let me get a message through

Oh, Niagara
Please don't make me go
My feet start flying
When you start crying
And the water starts to flow
I lose my mind
Every time
I see that water fall
Oh, Niagara
Can't you hear me call

I've got a honeymoon suite in a cheap motel
A big double bed all to myself
Talking to the TV and staring at the telephone
When your waterworks are working, girl, I can't stay
You need help, but I can't help but runaway
And now I can't quit thinking 'bout you all alone

Oh, Niagara
Please don't make me go
My feet start flying
When you start crying
And the water starts to flow
I lose my mind
Every time
I see that water fall
Oh, Niagara
Can't you hear me call

It's hard to forget that I'm the reason you cried
With thsoe powerlines buzzing like my foolish pride
And that wall of whitewater that only makes a body blue
I'mm hanging on with all of the strength I can find
But give me half a minute I'd have half a mind
To jump into a barrel and try riding these falls to you

Oh, Niagara
Please don't make me go
My feet start flying
When you start crying
And the water starts to flow
I lose my mind
Every time
I see that water fall
Oh, Niagara
Can't you hear me call
Oh, Niagara
Can't you hear me call
Oh, Niagara
Can't you hear me call
