Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy

Indian water slipping down a mountain stream

You know what I mean



Painted lady touch the water

Forest standing, sentry over mossy wall

She comes when you call



Outside, you've got me slipping like a honey slide

I'll take a ride with a willow weeping

Tears of strength into the stream

And the waterfall is a tense of all



Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy

Indian water slipping down a mountain stream

You know what I mean, ooh woo



Outside, you've got me slipping like a honey slide

I'll take a ride with a willow weeping

Tears leading to the stream

And the waterfall is a tense of all



Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy

Indian water slipping down a mountain stream

You know what I mean, I feel Perkiomen

Perkiomen - Hall & Oates

Perkiomen stands as a quintessential example of the Hall & Oates' signature blend of polished pop and soulful R&B, capturing the late 1970s Philadelphia sound at its peak. The track showcases Daryl Hall's distinctive vocal delivery and John Oates' rhythmic guitar work, characteristic of their collaborative mastery during this era. While often associated with their broader discography of romantic ballads and danceable hits, Perkiomen reflects the duo's ability to craft songs that are both commercially viable and emotionally resonant. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless melody and the seamless integration of vocal harmonies with a driving, yet smooth, instrumental arrangement. As a staple of their catalog, the recording exemplifies the high-quality production standards that defined their work in the late seventies, cementing their status as one of the most influential acts in American pop history.
