Tears Down the River

Tears flowing down the river
      the river of love.
Waves breaking up,
my boat of life.

Water over my head,
covering our love we once had,
tears flooding my heart
of days so long ago.

When you and I were
so very young and happy
many things we had together
now drifting so far down this river.

River comes to a bend,
you have went one way,
I another river,
two rivers were on now.

We need to change our course
to get back on this
river of love, so there
will be no tears flowing
    down this river anymore.
