I was sitting lonely in my car
Watching her come and go
I could feel the strings pulling my heart

From the old house,
That I used to know
Like the river that was flowing

She was coming without knowing
Our love's the river that somehow lost it's flow,
Lost it's flow


From my car I can see her there
As the curtain slowly moves

As he runs his fingers thru her hair
And the fire slowly grooves


What's the answer to this pain
I want to get back to her love again
And there she's sitting in that room

When she walked 'cross the street
Could she feel there's a heat
From my heart as it beats with her love

In her eyes other guys
See the fair that is there
But she might never know

But she might never know

I was sitting lonely in my house,

Wanting to tell her, wanting to call
And say I know I let you down,
Without thinking, his love might fall

No more hurting, no more clowning,
This emotion, isn't drowning,
If the river's gonna save our true love after all,

After all

I'm chewing on my nails again,

With my home across the street
I ain't got no place to turn to now
While you're cooking for that creep


What's the answer to this pain
I want to get back to her love again

There she's sitting in that room

When she walked 'cross the street

Could she feel there's a heat
From my heart as it beats with her love
In her eyes other guys, see the fair that is there

But she might never know
But she might never know


As I turned so she waved, this was all that she gave
So what was there to trade in love
Just the past that was cast, in the groove of the move

That she might never know
She might never know
