Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh:
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
