River Of Diamonds Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

( the family cat ) 

As I wander madly long this sun-cracked river bed 

A hundred carrion crows are circling 

High above my head 

They cast an evil shadow as they wheel and cry above 

Me, I'm just walking down the river 

Searching for 

Hey 

Where is the place where I belong 

Carry on carry on carry on 

Back to the place where you belong 

The clouds hand deep and heavy 

As I see the house below 

A wind both kind and fragrant melts the last 

Remnants of snow 

I'm crazy and you know it as I walk this final mile 

Me, I'm just walking down the river 

Searching for 

Hey 

Where is the place where I belong 

Carry on carry on carry on 

Back to the place where you belong 

A cat slinks out beneath me as I take a step inside 

The dust lies thick and heavy on the things 

I owned with pride 

The memory of your face still lingers 

And your spirit too 

Me, I'm just walking down the river 

Searching for 

Hey 

Where is the place where I belong 

Carry on carry on carry on 

Back to the place where you belong
