Was it summer when the river ran dry,

Or was it just another dam.

When the evil of a snowflake in June

Could still be a source of relief.

O how I love you, I once cried long ago,

But I was the one who decided to go.

To search beyond the final crest,

Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high.

So I pretended to have wings for my arms

And took off in the air.

I flew to places which the clouds never see,

Too close to the deserts of sand,

Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies

I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back

If I could find a horse not made of sand.
