Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
As time goes by so slowly
that 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, hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
and i know the time goes by so slowly
that time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me
