Along The River

All this time I’ve wondered what to do
There’s a hole in my heart, it belongs to you
All those silver nights turn to blue
‘Cause now, we’re through
I walk along the river, baby
Thinkin’ ‘bout the days we had
Lookin’ at the river, babe
It’s got a hold on me

Walk along the river, baby
Everybody’s gone but me
Life is like a river, babe
It all runs out to sea
I’ll just have to lay you down
Till some better times, I will make it fine
I’ll just have to lay you down
At the break of dawn, I’ll be movin’ on

Lookin’ at the river, baby
I still can see your golden curls
Embraces have gone bitter
And they’re branded on my skin
I should have read between the lines
But could it ever change your mind
It made me feel so lonely, lonely, lonely
But I’ll get by

I just have to lay you down
One day at a time, I will make it fine
I just have to lay you down
At the break of dawn, I’ll just movin’ on
There were times I broke down in silence
There were times I ran out of patience
Waiting for a sign from you

There were times I was hardly living
There were times I was a ghostly shadow
Just for the love of you
I walk along the river, baby
Walk along the river and
Walk along the river, and I think of you

The shimmer of the wavelets
I watch them rolling by
Taking all my troubles away
Oh, I’m just walkin’ on the river, baby
Oh, the river of time
