Cousins
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 bu*ter wind, three times the co*kerel 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.
