The River |
| 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 |
