Lyrics

I don't love you, don't want you near
But I need you to face my fear
Hold me to you, drown me in your arms
Be beside me, shelter me from harm

You and me under the waterfall
Come to me under the waterfall

I don't want you to tell me who I am
I don't need to understand the plan
Don't want answers, don't want truth or lies
Be beside me, fill me with your eyes

You and me under the waterfall
Come to me under the waterfall

Be my lover, never ask me why
Don't try to teach me, I am not a child
I will never truly understand
Why I do things. Don't know if I can.

You and me under the waterfall
Come to me under the waterfall

Talk to me. Be with me.
Cover me. Shelter me.
Come to me under the waterfall
Comfort me under the waterfall

Description

Based on the Larry Niven character, Teela Brown, from Ringworld. Milo says "This song examines Teela's feelings after some unpleasant revelations about her history. She is young, frightened and confused, and wants comfort but without commitment. A rather spoilt young lady, all things considered. Kim really surprised me on this song - I'd never heard her sing before like she does through the last minute or so of this tune."
