Singer:benin, clara

i am a house of cards

bound to fall at any blow

you are the rushing wind

and i collapse every time i feel you in my skin

my quiver is empty

all my arrows spent

all bended and broken

in disarray and discontent

i am an astronaut

trying to find my way home

you are a satellite

floating all around my mind

my flesh is fading

as my spirit soars

my heart is aching

to be in two places at once

oh

plant me by the river

let me rest my soul

oh

sing

sing to me

oh

river

'til i am made whole

oh

plant me by the river

oh

sing

sing to me

oh

river

oh

plant me by the river

oh

sing

sing to me

oh

river
