lyrics

A grasshopper sings somber tunes
As the noon day fades
You and I, we're holding hands
As the river sways
Listening to its steady pulse
As we drift away

River, take us somewhere else far away
Leave behind what will die
You will remain

Night is falling faster now
The heat leaves our skin
A shooting star mourns its life
For what it could have been
My darlings in silk and I'm in lace
On our final day

River, take us somewhere else far away
Leave behind what will die
You will remain

Can you see a garbage in a rose?
Now its time to burn our fancy clothes
Inter-be with me my friend you'll see
All these golden wings we do not need

Eighty years have gone so fast
I'm back in the ground
Swimming around in my cardboard box
Only muffled sounds
I think I'll lie and take a rest
But I dont feel safe

River, take us somewhere else far away
Leave behind what will die
You will remain
