[Verse 1]
Took a walk today
Through these grey, dirty streets
Thinking of you, missing you
And hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell my leg where to go
I just walked up to the dock
Sat on the edge, fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside

[Chorus]
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, ah
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I'd confide
And hearing this
The river cried

[Verse 2]
I say myself today
Through these grey, dirty streets
Did you have to leave this town
Or did you just have to leave me?
All these questions in my mind
I didn't see the signs
The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going
Waiting for you to return my pride
[Chorus]
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, ah
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I'd confide
And hearing this
The river cried

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, ah
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I'd confide
And hearing this
The river cried
The river cried

[Outro]
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, ah
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried, ah
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, ah
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, ah
