Faithless love like a river flows;

raindrops falling on a broken rose

down in some valley

where nobody goes,

and the night blows in

like the cold, dark wind.

Faithless love like a river flows.

Faithless love where did I go wrong?

Was it telling stories in a heartbreak song

where nobody's right, nobody was wrong?

Faithless love will find you

and the misery entwine you.

Faithless love, where did I go wrong?

Well, I guess I'm standing in the hall of broken dreams;

that's the way it sometimes goes.

Never a new love never turns out like it seems;

It's the feeling comes and goes.

Faithless love like a river flows;

like raindrops falling on a broken rose

down in some valley where nobody goes.

Faithless love has found me,

thrown its chilly arms around me.

Faithless love like a river flows.
