River Of Dirt Lyrics - Little Hells - Marissa Nadler

I was your lover, you were my plan 

I told you that you were the sun in the sand 

But we'd 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 elf 

And I'm sad to the bones that 

It's 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 are all so painfully alone 

Burn in the rivers of dirt and fire 

We return to the ground where we retire 

Back to 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 you were my middle name 

Take me back to the river of dirt 

Take me back to the river of dirt 

Now, I grew up in the houses made of men 

The walls where 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
