Love Is A Lonesome River

On a street in some big city lives the girl I love so well She left me for another now there's nothing much to tell As I try to fit my life in a different mode I find That love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind I took a plane to back when I was just a child that played Time sure changed this old town oh it's not the same today As I try to meet old friends none do I find Cause love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind [ strings ] There's trees along this river that are overgrown with pines There's pools along this river where the sun will never shine As I look into my heart and count my loss I find That love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind Yes love is a lonesome river running through the lonesome mind
