Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wooh my love, my darling
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 coming home
Wait for me

Wooh my love, my darling
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 I need your love
God speed your love to me, to me
I need your love baby




I need your love
Oh my love
