Queen of the Water Gap
down the slope of the mountain path
the Delaware runs through the yellow grass
where the valley meets the sky
the view is now of a highway sign
things changing fast
all good things must come to pass
but if there's nothing here that lasts
am I still the queen of the Water Gap
the old man at the country store
is a little more grey than he was before
he says that when he dies
the shelves will just sell dust and flies
things changing fast
all good things must come to pass
but if there's nothing here that lasts
am I still the queen of the Water Gap
the Schaeffer house burned hot and bright
when the fire took it late last night
there wasn't much left beneath the flames
it was sitting empty since '68
things changing fast
all good things must come to pass
but if there's nothing here that lasts
am I still the queen of the Water Gap
the Delaware runs through the yellow grass
where the valley meets the sky
the view is now of a highway sign
things changing fast
all good things must come to pass
but if there's nothing here that lasts
am I still the queen of the Water Gap
the old man at the country store
is a little more grey than he was before
he says that when he dies
the shelves will just sell dust and flies
things changing fast
all good things must come to pass
but if there's nothing here that lasts
am I still the queen of the Water Gap
the Schaeffer house burned hot and bright
when the fire took it late last night
there wasn't much left beneath the flames
it was sitting empty since '68
things changing fast
all good things must come to pass
but if there's nothing here that lasts
am I still the queen of the Water Gap
