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.
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.
