The River Cried

I took a walk today
Through these grey dirty streets
Thinkin of you, missing you
And hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell my legs where to go
I just walked up to the dock
Sat on the edge, fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside
And the river cried, 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, aaahhhh
The river cried, for my lonely soul, the river cried
You were the only one that really knew me
You were the only one in whom I confide
And hearing this the river cried
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 flowin'
I can't keep goin'
Waiting for you too return, my pride
And the river cried, 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, aaahhhh
The river cried, for my lonely soul, the river cried
You were the only one that really knew me
You were the only one in whom I confide
And hearing this the river cried
