Lyrics Time and the River - John Holt

Time and the River

Time and the river
Will bring my love to me
If I must, I’ll wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea
Here by the river
We loved, we laughed, we cried
But the time, my love, my darling
Took her off, now she’s gone with the tide
How long I’ve been lonely
Still the light shines bright
I need her;
oh, lead her
To my arms tonight
Time and the river
How swiftly they go by
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry
Oh!
How long I’ve been lonely
Still the light shines bright
I need her;
oh, lead her
To my arms tonight
Time and the river
How swiftly they go by
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry
