Perkiomen
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
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
