Deep as the river so deep is my loneliness

Deep as the river

When we're apart

Cold as the river

So cold are my empty arms

Cold as the river

My empty heart

The leaves all a tremble

Tremble no more than night

The stars all assemble

And listen to my sigh

Swift as the river

That's running to kiss the sea

Swift as the river may you come back

To me

Swift as the river that's running to kiss the sea

Swift as the river may you come back

To me
