The River

She fell in love with a lover boy
 in the old days i would walk alone
 any other day not disturbing
 while the others roamed
 And I listened to her song
 but would walk on the other side
 we'd be lonely, blue and lonely
 Then she fell in love with another one
 i was older now, and followed a path
 she had learned to be cool, to be caring
 and I thought I should say
 it's too much just to be
 but not enough for the life of me
 to be lonely, blue and lonely
 That's when the river ran dry
 that's when the river was all but a spill
 that's when the river ran dry
 every soul on the shore
 without sail, without will
 She said her saviour was soon to come
 from a long way, to bring back the girl he once knew
 to be true and all loving
 in the very best ways
 And I listened to her song
 but would walk on the other side
 we'd be lonely, blue and lonely
 That's when the river ran dry
 that's when the river was all but a spill
 that's when the river ran dry
 every soul on the shore
 without sail, without will

 If time were a second
 if life were a moment that once stood still
 I'd leave it untattered, untouched, until
 But it's too much just to be
 but not enough for the life of me
 to be lonely, blue and lonely
 She fell in love with a lover boy
 in the old days, I would walk alone
 any other day not disturbing
 And I listened to her song
 but would walk on the other side
 we'd be lonely, blue and lonely
 That's when the river ran dry
 that's when the river was all but a spill
 that's when the river ran dry
 every soul on the shore
 without sail, without will
 and I knew it before, and I do know it still
