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 the river that was flowing   (Like the river, that was flowing)   She was coming without knowing   (She was coming, without knowing)   And 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 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      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, 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      Well, 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      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, she might never know
