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
