| Listen to the story 'bout the man who tried
|
| To drink from the river 'til the river ran dry
|
| He drank so long and he drank so hard
|
| The river ran dry and it broke his heart
|
| River of love, river of love
|
| Drink from the river, fly like a dove
|
| The river runs long, the river runs free
|
| But the river of love never runs to me
|
| Many are the times that he called his love
|
| Called her to his side 'til he had enough
|
| Then came a wind to blow her away
|
| Never did he drink from the river that day
|
| River of love, river of love
|
| Drink from the river, fly like a dove
|
| The river runs long, the river runs free
|
| But the river of love never runs to me
|
| Pricked by a thorn and heart will bleed
|
| Red as a rose for the world to see
|
| Chained by time to the river side
|
| A fool will drink 'till the river runs dry
|
| River of love, river of love
|
| Drink from the river, fly like a dove
|
| The river runs long, the river runs free
|
| But the river of love (never runs)
|
| River of love, river of love
|
| Drink from the river, fly like a dove
|
| The river runs long, the river runs free
|
| But the river of love never runs to me |
