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 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
