Yukon

Yukon
Your soul is black, your blood is cold
Your skin is rough; you have a heart of gold
Your face so dark with clammy hair
Upon your flesh, wet creatures everywhere

Gives me a shiver…
Wild River, you stole my eyes, never gave them back
You tried to kiss me and sent a shiver round my neck
Wild River, wet golden shrine, you stole my mind
And tried to kill me, sent a shiver down my spine
You hate the sun, but rain is nice
You love the snow, but you are afraid of ice
You're dressed in mud, unsafe to dive
I want your gold, but you… you want my life. You want my life
Wild River, you stole my eyes, never gave them back
You tried to kiss me and sent a shiver round my neck
Wild River, wet golden shrine, you stole my mind
And tried to kill me, sent a shiver down my spine
You tried to drown me, never mind to swim
And tried to eat me, put a shiver on my skin
You tried to hold me with a million fins
And tried to heal me, wash off my sins

Your kingdom come, we kneeling on the planks
All the trees, bend over on the banks
Gives me a shiver, shiver, shiver, shiver…
Wild River, you stole my eyes, never gave them back
You tried to kiss me and sent a shiver round my neck
Wild River, wet golden shrine, you stole my mind
And tried to kill me, sent a shiver down my spine
You tried to hold me with a million fins
And tried to eat me, bite off my sins
You tried to drown me, never mind to swim
And tried to kill me, set a shiver on my skin
