A lyrical riddle

I bend but never break.
I fall but never bruise.
I meander but never stand.
I babble but never speak.
I lull but never sleep.
I run but never walk.

I wave but have no hands.
I step but have no feet.
I spill but make no mess.
I cut but have no knife.
I drain but have no plumbing.
I erode but have no pitting.

There is:
Gold in my veins,
Stretches in my legs,
Life in my tributes,
Nets in my runs,
Salt in my mouth,
Bugs in my bed,

I may have:
A mouth but I do not breath,
A fork but I do not eat,
A head but I do not think,
An Eddy but I do not communicate,
A bed but I do not lay,
A pool but I do not swim,

I have:
A bank but no money,
A shed but no tools,
A channel but no TV,
A bar but no stools,
A basin but no faucet,
A ford but no wheels,
