Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms
Of the sea, yeah

Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll coming home
Wait for me
