I've been waiting by the river
For you to come home
It seems like it's forever
Since you've been gone

It's been so lonely here without you
I've had so many sleepless nights
Walking down here by the river
Hoping for a sign

I don't come here in the daytime
Don't want to see the smiling faces
Of all the people and their loved ones
Headed other places

When you left you said you'd cme back
One day to carry me
To other places down the river
Where we'd live happily

And now I know that you won't come back
You've been too many months away
But I come nightly to the river
'Cause I can't face the day

So I've been waiting by the river
For you to come home
It seems like it's forever
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
