The River 歌词

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.
