Oh, my love, my darling 
I've hungered for your touch 
A long lonely time 

Time goes by so slowly 
And time can do so much 
Are you still mine? 

I need your love 
I need your love 
God will speed your love to me 

Lonely rivers flow 
To the sea, to the sea 
To the open arms of the sea 

Lonely rivers sigh 
'Wait for me, wait for me 
I'll be coming home, wait for me' 

Oh, my love, my darling 
I've hungered for your touch 
A long lonely time 

Time goes by so slowly 
And time can do so much 
Are you still mine? 

I need your love 
I need your love 
God is gonna speed your love to me
