Al Kooper - Salmon Falls lyrics

Each drop of rain falls a
Million times it's own length
To crash upon this floor
And with it's pain cause life to start anew
Each second fights it's way magically
Through your entire life
Like a salmon traveling upstream
To it's final destination

And with it's goal in sight
Life ends - to start again
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
And magically, and magically salmon falls
