river dry

Gustavo Bertoni

I felt like a hollow tree
Stuck in the ground
Lost in the green

Noticed by my yellow leaves
Climb me and take
Your souvenir home

Let me be your morning view
Your imaginary friend
Will you water me and trim me
Or forget me when I'm wrong?

I've shared all of my existence
Had my humanity defied
I'm not asking for forgiveness
Cause it won't come from river dry

I feel like a breed of bird
Learning to fly
Fall from the nest

So, I carry no great weight
Each time around
Higher I go

Yes, I'll be your morning view
Your amusing Neverland
Will you ride me and then use me
When guilt comes knocking at your door?

I've shared all of my existence
Had my humanity defied
I'm not asking for forgiveness
Cause it won't come from river dry
