Took a walk today

Through these grey and dirty streets

Thinking of you, missing you

And wishing that we'd meet

I didn't tell myself where to go

I 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

Hearing this

Saw myself today

Through these grey and dirty streets

Did you have to leave here?

Or did you just have to leave me?

All these questions run through my mind

Why didn't I see the signs?

Now I'm here 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

Now I'm here 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, oh-oh

Oh, the river cried 'cause I lost your love

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
