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 toooooooooooooooooo me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arm of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh wait for me, wait for me
I'll be comin' home wait for me
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love toooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo me
