| 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
|
| 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 |
