Time and the river will bring my love to me;
If I must, Ill wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea.
Here by the river, we loved, we laughed, we cried
But with time, my love, my darling
Left my arms and was gone with the tides.
How long I've been lonely! Star of love; shine 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
Til time stands still and the river runs dry.
