Lyrics & music: Achinoam Nini (Noa) 



She went to the river, 

She never thought twice 

She went to the river, 

The river of ice 

Slowly she removed the blouse of silk 

From her back 

Carefully undid her skirt 

And let it fall unwrapped 


She cut with her fingers, 

The cold river sighed 

She wanted the water 

The water inside 

She walked to the center, 

Unbraided her hair 

Stepped out of her panties 

And left her breast bare 


Stretched out on the ice 

She dug into it slowly, 

Methodically punching 

The half frozen floor 

The blood from her fingers 

Helped warm them, but only 

Until it froze over a moment, 

No more 

No more 


He watched from the tower, 

He saw her below 

Her physical power would melt 

Like the snow 

But not so the power 

Of crystal decision 

The lock of the mind 

In undaunting precision 


On the window, 

A flower he'd bought to her 

Bought, but forgotten to water 


The night rolled in slowly, 

But did not bring sleep 

Her opening was only a few 

Inches deep 

But as she pressed her head 


Down to the unyielding shell 

She could hear the water 

Almost well 


Morning crept in cautiously, 

Fearing what it'd find 

A ring of clothes around on 

Opening of the mind 

And the water humming 

For beneath 

She is mine 

And the water humming 

For beneath 

She is mine 


She is mine
