The River Lyrics - Verve Pipe

She fell in love with a lover boy 

In the old days I would walk alone 

Any other day not disturbing 

While the others roamed 

And I listened to her song 

But would walk on the other side 

We'd be lonely, blue and lonely 

She fell in love with another one 

I was older now and followed a path 

She had learned to be cool, to be caring 

And I thought I should say 

When it's too much just to be 

And not enough for the life of me 

To be lonely, blue and lonely 

That's when the river ran dry 

That's when the river was all but a spill 

That's when the river ran dry 

Every soul on the shore without sail, without will 

She said her savior was soon to come 

From a long way, to bring back the girl he once knew 

To be true and all loving 

In the very best ways 

And I listened to her song 

But would walk on the other side 

We'd be lonely, blue and lonely 

That's when the river ran dry 

That's when the river was all but a spill 

That's when the river ran dry 

Every soul on the shore without sail, without will 

If time were a second 

If life were a moment that once stood still 

I'd leave it untattered, untouched, until 

But it's too much just to be 

And not enough for the life of me 

To be lonely, blue and lonely 

She fell in love with a lover boy 

In the old days, I would walk alone 

Any other day not disturbing 

And I listened to her song 

But would walk on the other side 

We'd be lonely, blue and lonely 

That's when the river ran dry 

That's when the river was all but a spill 

That's when the river ran dry 

Every soul on the shore without sail, without will 

And I did it before and I do know it still
