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
    
    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 oh I need your love
    God speed your love to me
