the river — текст песни (The Verve Pipe)

she fell in love with a lover boy
in the old days i would walk alone
any other day not disturbing
while the others roamed

and i listened to her song
but would walk on the other side
we`d be lonely, blue and lonely

then she fell in love with another one
i was older now, and followed a path
she had learned to be cool, to be caring
and i thought i should say
it`s too much just to be
but not enough for the life of me
to be lonely, blue and lonely

that`s when the river ran dry
that`s when the river was all but a spill
that`s when the river ran dry
every soul on the shore
without sail, without will

she said her saviour was soon to come
from a long way, to bring back the girl he once knew
to be true and all loving
in the very best ways

and i listened to her song
but would walk on the other side
we`d be lonely, blue and lonely

that`s when the river ran dry
that`s when the river was all but a spill
that`s when the river ran dry
every soul on the shore
without sail, without will

if time were a second
if life were a moment that once stood still
i`d leave it untattered, untouched, until

but it`s too much just to be
but not enough for the life of me
to be lonely, blue and lonely

she fell in love with a lover boy
in the old days, i would walk alone
any other day not disturbing

and i listened to her song
but would walk on the other side
we`d be lonely, blue and lonely

that`s when the river ran dry
that`s when the river was all but a spill
that`s when the river ran dry
every soul on the shore
without sail, without will
and i knew it before, and i do know it still
