We'd be lonely, blue and lonely
And I listened to her song
And not enough for the life of me
When it's too much just to be
Every soul on the shore without sail, without will
She fell in love with another one
From a long way, to bring back the girl he once knew
But would walk on the other side
We'd be lonely, blue and lonely
That's when the river ran dry
Every soul on the shore without sail, without will
She had learned to be cool, to be caring
That's when the river ran dry
That's when the river ran dry
We'd be lonely, blue and lonely
But would walk on the other side
That's when the river ran dry
That's when the river ran dry
Any other day not disturbing
And I thought I should say
To be true and all loving
To be lonely, blue and lonely
That's when the river was all but a spill
I was older now and followed a path
She said her savior was soon to come
I'd leave it untattered, untouched, until
Every soul on the shore without sail, without will
While the others roamed
She fell in love with a lover boy
In the very best ways
But would walk on the other side
That's when the river was all but a spill
And I listened to her song
That's when the river ran dry
And I listened to her song
To be lonely, blue and lonely
But it's too much just to be
If life were a moment that once stood still
Any other day not disturbing
That's when the river was all but a spill
In the old days, I would walk alone
And not enough for the life of me
If time were a second
