Oh my love, my darling
 I've hungered for your touch
 A long lonely time
 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
 yeah
 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
