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.
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 comin’ home, wait for me!”
Oh, my love, my darling,
I’ve hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .
Time goes by so slowly
an’ time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me
