Whoooa, my love, my darlin'
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love

God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be comin' home, wait for me
Whoooa, my love, my darlin'
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love

I, I need your love
God speed your love to me

The chorus echoes this desire for their love to come back to them - "I need your love, God speed your love to me."

The second verse continues with the imagery of a lonely river flowing towards the ocean, creating a sense of longing and waiting. The singer promises to come back to their lover - "Wait for me, I'll be coming home." The repeated chorus reinforces the singer's plea for their love to return to them, promising that they need it desperately. The song is a classic tale of lost love and the endless yearning for its return.
