Marissa Nadler River Of Dirt
I was your lover, you were my plan
I told you that you were my sun and my sand
We would ride away and get a circus job
And I'd fly away, become a bird of song
El camino, take me home
El camino, take me home
You are a jester and I am an elf
And I'm sad to the bones that are stocked upon my shelf
Take me back to the river of dirt
Take me back to the river of dirt
Built of the veins
And the flesh and the bones
We're oh so painfully alone
Burdened by rivers of dirt and fire
We return to the ground when we retire
Back to the river of dirt and fire
Summer is coming, I can't believe it's true
Where are you, where is she
I'm turning into you
Take me back to the place of the golden slumbers
Where I was happy and you were my middle name
Take me back to the river of dirt
Take me back to the river of dirt
And I grew up in the houses made of lead
The walls were white, the stairs were sharp
The scent of summer land
Take me back to the river of dirt
Take me back to the river of dirt
