I'm walking on the bridge
In the wet and grey spring,
On the way I'm choosing to call my own
I'm not able to think
Of all the places I have been
Dreamin' of rivers to call my own
Flow away, poisons of my heart
I won't find a way home any more
Neither am I able to go beyond the shore
If I found a boy
With all the sweetest words
It seems that I am all a girl to feel alone
I'm living like the rains
Singing the same refrains
Waiting for rivers to drown me from head to toe
Flow away, poisons of my heart,
Won't you find a way to go outta door ?
Since I'm not able to go beyond the shore
Dancing down the bridge :
Waters, black and sweet,
But still am I loving to be living
Crazy about you,
I'm keeping going through
This madness I found to call "my love"
Flow away, rivers of my heart
I am not afraid to live without ground
Flow away, waters of my heart
I won't find a way to go beyond the shore
Then I am staying between the waters and the bridge
Then I'm staying between the waters and the bridge
The river said to me
"I'm not your enemy
I'll always help you to dream of more"
Dancing off the bridge
In the wet and bright spring
Still am I searching a way,
The way to call my own.
