Waterfall
A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.
Formation
Waterfalls are commonly formed in the upper course of the river. At these times the channel is often narrow and deep. When the river courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly. As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed. Whirlpools created in the turbulence as well as sand and stones carried by the watercourse increase the erosion capacity. This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and to recede upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it. The rate of retreat for a waterfall can be as high as one and half meters per year.
Often, the rock stratum just below the more resistant shelf will be of a softer type, meaning that undercutting due to splashback will occur here to form a shallow cave-like formation known as a rock shelter under and behind the waterfall. Eventually, the outcropping, more resistant cap rock will collapse under pressure to add blocks of rock to the base of the waterfall. These blocks of rock are then broken down into smaller boulders by attrition as they collide with each other, and they also erode the base of the waterfall by abrasion, creating a deep plunge pool or gorge.
Waterfall (Carly Simon song)
"Waterfall" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon, and produced by Richard Perry. The song served as the second single from Simon's fifth studio album, Playing Possum.
Waterfall was not as successful on the Billboard Pop singles chart as its predecessor "Attitude Dancing", peaking only at #78. However, it was much more successful on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, reaching a peak position of #21.
Simon later included the track on her 2002 career retrospective set, Anthology.James Taylor provides backing vocals on the track.

Waterfall (album)
Waterfall is the fourth album released for the American market by the English jazz rock band If. It was first issued in 1972 and reached #195 on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart.
It is a rearranged version of If 4, containing two tracks, "Paint Your Pictures" and "Cast No Shadows", in substitution of "You in Your Small Corner" and "Svenska Soma", which had been released on IF 4. The original recording line-up was modified to include two new members, Cliff Davies and Dave Wintour, who filled the drum and bass chairs in substitution of Dennis Elliott and Jim Richardson, respectively.
The album was recorded in London at Command Studios in February and at Morgan Studios in July 1972.

Waterfall
by: Brainstorm..time stops for a while..
..water runs still..
..the river goes up the hill, up the hill..
Sometimes I fell like a waterfall, like a waterfall
Sometimes I fell like a waterfall, like a waterfall
Time stops for a while and water runs still
No more rush, the river goes up the hill
Sometimes I fell like a waterfall, like a waterfall
Sometimes I fell like a waterfall, like a waterfall
Eternal flow, this miracle gives me wings
And no one can stop me, time's just playing my strings
Sometimes I fell like a waterfall, like a waterfall
Sometimes I fell like a waterfall, like a waterfall
Little space gods kindly watching through cloudy, stormy sky
We are children of the time machine
Who always will ask why,..always will ask why..
We look up to the sky
To fly
