A River, A Bird, A Man

from Industrial City In The Clouds by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

High above the river
That's slowly streaming West
A lonely bird is circling
Looking for a nest

And high above the river
The bird is screaming down
To a man, who's in the water
A man about to drown

The man, who's in the water
Knows nothing but his name
Because every thought and feeling
He once had is called insane

In his teens he did not party
In his twenties he was blue
In his thirties he was broken
'Cause when he meant: "I sure do love you"
He said: "I don't, I don't love you"
