she fell in love with a lover boy

in the old days i would walk alone

any other day not disturbing

while the others roamed



and i listened to her song

but would walk on the other side

we'd be lonely, blue and lonely



then she fell in love with another one

i was older now, and followed a path

she had learned to be cool, to be caring

and i thought i should say

it's too much just to be

but not enough for the life of me

to be lonely, blue and lonely



that's when the river ran dry

that's when the river was all but a spill

that's when the river ran dry

every soul on the shore

without sail, without will



she said her saviour was soon to come

from a long way, to bring back the girl he once knew

to be true and all loving

in the very best ways



and i listened to her song

but would walk on the other side

we'd be lonely, blue and lonely



that's when the river ran dry

that's when the river was all but a spill

that's when the river ran dry

every soul on the shore

without sail, without will



if time were a second

if life were a moment that once stood still

i'd leave it untattered, untouched, until



but it's too much just to be

but not enough for the life of me

to be lonely, blue and lonely



she fell in love with a lover boy

in the old days, i would walk alone

any other day not disturbing



and i listened to her song

but would walk on the other side

we'd be lonely, blue and lonely



that's when the river ran dry

that's when the river was all but a spill

that's when the river ran dry

every soul on the shore -a
