I took a walk today through these grey

and dirty streets

Thinking of you, missing you,

and hoping that we'd meet

I didn't tell my legs where to go

They just walked down to the dock

I sat on the edge fighting a shiver

Telling everything I hurt inside



CHORUS:

And the river cried 'cause I lost your love

The river cried, oh

The river cried for my lonely soul

The river cried

You were the only one who really knew me

You were the only one in whom I'd confide

And hearing this

The river cried



I saw myself today through these grey

and dirty streets

Did you have to leave this town

or did you just have to leave me?

All these questions echo in my mind

Why didn't I see the signs?

The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going

Waiting for you to return my sigh.



CHORUS
