Lyrics

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

Yes, 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 time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

I need your love

I, I need your love

God speed your love to me
