And I was sitting lonely in my car

Watching her come and go

And I could feel the strings pulling my heart

From the old house that I used to know

Like a river that was flowing,

She was coming without knowing,

And our love's the river that somehow lost its flow.

Lost its flow.



From my car I can see her there,

As the curtain slowly moves,

As he runs his fingers through her hair,

And the fire slowly grooves.



Well, what's the answer to this pain,

I want to get back to her love again,

There she's sitting in that room.

Then 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 fire that is there,

But she might never, she might never know.



Well 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 downing

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.



Well, what's the answer to this pain,

I want to get back to her love again,

There she's sitting in that room.

Then 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 fire that is there,

But she might never, 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

Tn the groove of the move
