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
