"The River Cried" lyrics

"The River Cried"

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
