Susan Cowsill River of Love She had to leave me Said she had some place to go I knew her heart was searching for its home So what’s to do when you let go of flying falcons Except to watch them disappear ‘til there no more And as she flew well I called out And I knew she heard her lover shout ‘Cause she tipped her wings before the fade Oh the sun may set yet another day I’ll be there for the rising one And maybe it’s true you’ve gone away But I’ll be waiting by the River of Love I’ll be waiting by the River of Love The heart’s a funny thing Sometimes it never shakes What happened to that friend that went before And it may ponder it may wander ‘til it finds Love’s secret phone to call upon that soul And just sometimes you never know You may be dreaming but you feel aglow And you hope one day she will return Chorus Another day goes rolling through my heart As if it was another empty cup And though I’ve wandered through these fields I’ve known before I will never give up ‘til I see you again I may never give up at all And so I will take my precious time to hang around And I’ll count the beats of my heart one by one And even if it’s just some silly game I’m playing Deep down I know it isn’t just for fun ‘Cause when there’s a will then there’s a way And if I have to kneel and pray Then I’ll kneel here and pray away Chorus We criticized you We recognized you I memorized you And I eulogized you I loved you more than you’ll ever know Man I hated to see you go I’ll be waiting by the River of Love
