Listen to the story 'bout the man who tried To drink from the river 'til the river ran dry He drank so long and he drank so hard The river ran dry and it broke his heart River of love, river of love Drink from the river, fly like a dove The river runs long, the river runs free But the river of love never runs to me Many are the times that he called his love Called her to his side 'til he had enough Then came a wind to blow her away Never did he drink from the river that day River of love, river of love Drink from the river, fly like a dove The river runs long, the river runs free But the river of love never runs to me Pricked by a thorn and heart will bleed Red as a rose for the world to see Chained by time to the river side A fool will drink 'till the river runs dry River of love, river of love Drink from the river, fly like a dove The river runs long, the river runs free But the river of love (never runs) River of love, river of love Drink from the river, fly like a dove The river runs long, the river runs free But the river of love never runs to me
