Lyrics
Oh…, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long.., lonely time…
But 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 cry, "Wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, please 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….. to ^^me……
