I was your lover You were my plan I told you that you were My sun and my sand But right away Get a circus job And I'd fly away And become a bird of song El Camino, take me home El Camino, take me home You are a jester And I am an elf And I'm sad to the books That are 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 Burning by rivers Of dirt and fire We return to the ground When we retire Back to the river of dirt and fire Summer is coming I can't believe it's true Where all you were issued Are turning into you Take me back to the place Of golden slumbers Where I was happy And you were my middle name Take me back to the river of dirt Take me back to the river of dirt And I grew up In the houses made of lead The walls were white, the stairs were sharp The scent of summer lead Take me back to the river of dirt Take me back to the river of dirt
