If you were a river And I were the wind, If you were a river Would you ever bend? Would you ever bend Lighter than a feather, Invisible as air. Everything around you Is how you know I'm there Is how you know I'm there Will you let me bring you things Like I did before? I could loosen ripened figs And drop them at your door, Or Carve me out a corner. Make a little bed. Carve me out a corner. Let me rest my head Let me rest my head And then I could store my things In those meanders where Your secrets hide I'll rummage through From time to time Looking for what is not mine Some stuff that I can use For future alibis Put your arms around me. I'm tired of moving around. Put your arms around me And try to hold me down Try to hold me down
