Lyrics:

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 I

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
