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 the river that was flowing

(Like the river, that was flowing)

She was coming without knowing

(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 When 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 fair that is there

But she might never, she might never know 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 drowning

If the river's gonna save our true love

After all, after all I'm chewing on my nails again

With my home across the street

I ain't got no place to turn to now

While you're cooking for that creep Well, what's the answer to this pain?

I want to get back to her love again

And there she's sitting in that room When 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 fair that is there

But she might never know As I turned so she waved

This was all that she gave

So what was there to trade in love?

Just the past that was cast, in the groove of the move

That she might never know, she might, she might never know
