Susannah Melvoin zingt in een band geheten The Family, die het origineel van Nothing compares 2 U heeft gedaan. Het nummer gaat naar verluidt zelfs over haar. Zoals met zoveel Prince-materiaal is het niet op YT te vinden, zelfs de schitterende cover van Wim de Bie niet. En nee, de HIT, die doe ik niet. Er zijn grenzen. U mag luisteren naar het origineel onder de opgegeven link.
Wendy Melvoin & Lisa Coleman, Waterfall. De twee hadden eerder in The Revolution, de band van Prince in de vroege jaren tachtig gezeten.
Move slow
Now your time’s at hand
Take heed
‘Cause our love has passed
Hot fuse
Can be short or long
The time bomb
Of your life has come
People may come, people may go
Just as long as the water’s slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall
Dry land is just a love away
Warm sun and a place to lay
I see your future
The water above you calm and clear
People may come, people may go
Just as long as the water’s slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall
Love lost always makes one sad
You seem
You seem to rise instead
Feel the water, ice cool water
People may come, people may go
Just as long as the water’s slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall
People may come, people may go
Just as long as the water’s slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall, the waterfall
Feel the water, ice cool water
Feel the water, ice cool water
People may come, people may go
Just as long as the water’s slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall
People may come, people may go
Just as long as the water’s slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall
Waterfall
Waterfall
