The River Cried Lyrics - Singles - Smyth Patty

I took a walk today through these grey 

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 

CHORUS: 

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 grey 

and dirty streets 

Did you have to leave this town 

or did you just have to leave me? 

All these questions echo in my mind 

Why didn't I see the signs? 

The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going 

Waiting for you to return my sigh. 

CHORUS
