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 stil mine ?
I need your love, I need your love
God 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 speed your love to me.



2de strofe wordt meestal niet gebruikt :

(Lonely mountains gaze at the stars, at the stars,
Waiting for the dawn of the day.
All alone I gaze at the stars, at the stars,
Dreaming of my love far away.)
