Love is a Lonesome River

On a street in some big city lives the girl I love so well

She left me for another now there's nothing much to tell

As I try to fit my life in a different mode I find

That love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind

I took a plane to back when I was just a child that played

Time sure changed this old town oh it's not the same today

As I try to meet old friends none do I find

Cause love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind

There's trees along this river that are overgrown with pines

There's pools along this river where the sun will never shine

As I look into my heart and count my loss I find

That love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind

Yes love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind
