The River(Album Version)

歌詞

Cousins I made a sideways motion, turning a new leaf The single minded miner's girl was there to share my grief I shivered in the butter wind, three times the cockerel crowed I waited for the river but the river did not flow. An autumn turned to silver, winter turned to gold The weatherman said : 'Dress up' - oh but I did not feel the cold Kids waited with toboggans as I sheltered from the snow I waited for the river but the river did not flow. I will drink the milk from you breasts, meld myself to you Collect the valley lilies the worshippers once strew My body aches with hunger, yet your belly has to grow I waited for the river but the river did not flow.
