Oh, 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
Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow (rivers flow, rivers flow)
To the sea, to the sea (to the sea, to the sea)
To the open arms of the sea (the sea, the sea, the sea)
Lonely rivers sigh (rivers sigh, rivers sigh)
Wait for me, wait for me (wait for me, wait for me)
I'll be coming home, wait for me my love
