LYRICS
I ran into the desert
Below a lonely sky
Let my heart be empty
Let my love run dry
I ran into the canyon
Where I said goodbye
Let my mind be barren
Let my body cry
The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I’ve been living in your blood
And I am etched into your bones
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
Home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home
Between two walls you held me
We shared a dusty bed
I wore down your defenses
You forced me to bend
The river carved the canyon
Through a million years of stone
I’ve been living in your blood and I am
Etched into your bones
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I will run, I will wander
I was meant to roam
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling
I never meant to hurt you
Never wanted you to change
I never meant to hurt you
I’m wild to my veins, I cannot be contained
Like the river, the river, the river
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I’m the blood and the water
You’re the skin and bone
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
Oh my lover
Together we’re alone
I’m the River
You’re the Stone
I hear the ocean calling me, calling me
home, home, home
I hear the ocean calling me
Calling me home

I know how meaningful the lyrics are to you - you bared your soul but now you can move on.. like the river that flows through the canyon but didn't stop in the baren canyon where it would be of no good.. the river ran through the desert to a better place where it could feed the growth of new plants - just like you had to go through the canyon (of your life) and the desert (of your reason to exist) to arrive at a better place (in yourself) from where you could grow again, without the issues of the past.. I think that is what I am sensing from the lyrics.. You're an amazing human being, Robyn

[@RobynCage]

I love this interpretation, Herman! In some ways, it's precisely what I intended when I wrote the lyrics, and in some ways it's quite different, yet works just as well (If not better!). Thank you for listening so deeply. ❤🙏

[@lorilee2624]

[@daviddelorenzo3546]

Love this new direction for you. Beautiful song and band did not overpower your beautiful voice but accompanied it. Very poignant lyrics. love it.

[@RobynCage]

Thanks so much, David! So glad you enjoyed this! I love playing with these guys- not only are they excellent musicians, they're some of my favorite people in the world. As much as I love experimenting with new electronic sounds, there's a certain special magic that comes from a live performance with real people playing real instruments.
