lyrics

He's a quiet man
and Western New York suits him just fine
and oh, Niagara, you've got a funny way of playing with a mind

She's a fine girl
the kind of grace you just don't find around here.
She asks him for a cigarette
says she likes the way it feels behind her ear.

And he just nods his head,
says, "Ontario's not bad this time of year."

All that water will make you go blind
It'll wash away your senses, make you lose all track of time
And you'll go crazy
You'll think it's true
That Niagara falls only for you.

Across the border
A quiet man starts singing like a bird
And oh, Niagara, it doesn't matter what he said
It only matters what she heard

And it's a long night
when you can't sleep for the chaos in your head
There was a bad fight
The kind that leaves you with a stranger in your bed

And he thinks, "Next time,
I'll just leave her with a cigarette instead."

All that water will make you go blind
It'll wash away your senses, make you lose all track of time
And you'll go crazy
You'll think it's true
That Niagara falls only for you
