River Cried Lyrics - Singles - Patty Smyth

I took a walk today 

Through these gray and dirty streets 

Thinking of you, missing you 

And hoping that we'd meet 

I didn't tell my legs where to go 

They just walked down to the dock 

I sat on the edge fighting a shiver 

Telling everything I hurt inside 

And the river cried 

'Cause I lost your love 

The river cried, oh 

The river cried 

For my lonely soul 

The river cried 

You were the only one 

Who really knew me 

You were the only one 

In whom I'd confide 

And hearing this 

The river cried 

I saw myself today 

Through these gray and dirty streets 

Did you have to leave this town 

Or did you just have to leave me? 

All these questions in my mind 

I didn't see the signs? 

The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going 

Waiting for you to return my sigh 

And the river cried 

'Cause I lost your love 

The river cried, oh 

The river cried 

For my lonely soul 

The river cried 

You were the only one 

Who really knew me 

You were the only one 

In whom I'd confide 

And hearing this 

The river cried 

And the river cried 

'Cause I lost your love 

The river cried, oh 

The river cried 

For my lonely soul 

The river cried, oh 

And the river cried 

'Cause I lost your love 

The river cried 

And the river cried 

For my lonely soul 

The river cried, oh 

The river cried 

The river cried 

The river cried 

The river cried
