Secret of the waterfall



    Down by the waterfall
    Where the waters run so cool
    There no secrets ever fall
    From the lips of the fool



Jeniffer was seventeen the same age as I
She had lived next door to us since we were five
She knew I loved her dearly, I told her many times
And I looked forward to the day that she would be all mine



One more year of school we thought, then wedding bells would ring
But the hand of fate has ways of changing everything
I walked upon the two of them down by the waterfall
Jeniffer and Jimmy Jones they saw me not at all



  * Refrain



Jimmy Jones was married and had a family
And I just couldn't understand why they did this to me
Both were scared that all they thought I'd do was tell his wife
Their faces turned to master fear before I took their life



People thought that Jeniffer just up and ran away
Jimmy Jones who disappeared is a mystery to day
Many years has passed but bitterly I still recall
And only I alone know what's behind the waterfall



  * Refrain
