Days go breathless, talking to you,
nights all sleepless, thinking of you,
oh my river, I sit thirsty by your side,
can't drink enough from your eyes,
could sing to the tune of your voice, but I just sit all tongue tied,
if only this was a different world, and I could tell you what's on my mind,
I know you wouldn't still be mine, but I will be less miserable for a while,
oh my river, I sit so thirsty by your side.
