Juice Newton River of Love song lyrics

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
