And I was sitting lonely in my car
Watching her come and go
And I could feel the strings pulling my heart
From the old house that I used to know
Like a river that was flowing
She was coming without knowing
And our love's the river that somehow lost it's flow
Lost it's flow

From my car I can see her there
As the curtain slowly moves
As he runs his fingers through her hair
And the fire slowly grooves

Well, what's the answer to this pain
I want to get back to her love again
There she's sitting in that room
Then she walked 'cross the street
Could she feel there's a heat
From my heart as it beats with her love

In her eyes other guys see the fire that is there
But she might never, she might never know

Well I was sitting lonely in my house
Wanting to tell her, wanting to call
And say I know I let you down
Without thinking, his love might fall
No more hurting, no more clowning
This emotion isn't downing
If the river's gonna save our true love
After all, after all
