"Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
God will 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

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I need your love
God is gonna speed your love to me"
