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.'

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.
