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
That she might never know
She might never know
