Love Is a Lonesome River

Glen Campbell · Gentle on My Mind/By the Time I Get to Phoenix [1998]

(Glen Campbell - Kella Christian)



On a street in some big city lives the girl I love so well

She left me for another now there's nothing much to tell

As I try to fit my life in a different mold I find

That love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind.



I took a plane to back when I was just a child that played

Time sure changed this old town it's not the same today

As I try to meet old friends none do I find

'Cause love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind.



--- Instrumental ---



There's trees along this river that are overgrown with pines

There's pools along this river where the sun will never shine

As I look into my heart and count my loss I find

That love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind.



Yes, love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind...
