Harry Nilsson Salmon Falls lyrics

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
