I took a walk today through these grey   and dirty streets   Thinking of you, missing you,   and hoping that we'd meet   I didn't tell my legs where to go   They just walked down to the dock   I sat on the edge fighting a shiver   Telling everything I hurt inside      refrain:   And the river cried 'cause I lost your love   The river cried, oh   The river cried for my lonely soul   The river cried   You were the only one who really knew me   You were the only one in whom I'd confide   And hearing this   The river cried      I saw myself today through these grey   and dirty streets   Did you have to leave this town   or did you just have to leave me?   All these questions echo in my mind   Why didn't I see the signs?   The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going   Waiting for you to return my sigh.      refrain
