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 comin' home, wait for me!" 

Oh, my love, my darling, 
I've hungered, 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
