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
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!
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
God speed your love to me.
