Riverchild - Clara Benin

I am a house of cards,

bound to fall at any blow.

You are the rushing wind,

and I collapse every time I feel you in my skin.

My quiver is empty,

all my arrows spent,

all bended and broken,

in disarray and discontent.

I am an astronaut,

trying to find my way home.

You are a satellite,

floating all around my mind.

My flesh is fading,

as my spirit soars.

My heart is aching,

to be in two places at once.

Oh, plant me by the river.

Let me rest my soul.

Oh, sing.

Sing to me, oh, River,

'til I am made whole.

Oh, plant me by the river.

Oh, sing.

Sing to me, oh, River.

Oh, plant me by the river.

Oh, sing.

Sing to me, oh, River.
