Time was, I used to believe,

My good friend but the joke was on me

You left and the pendulum sways

And now time is a debt to be paid

I know I wait vainly

Your love alone could save me

And there’ll be no other

No new love to discover

Love must sail on without me

True love is only a dream

A heartache for a loser like me

And no words can lessen the pain

Of knowing I’ve got nothing to gain

I know I wait vainly

Your love alone could save me

And there’ll be no other

No new love to discover

Love must sail on without me

Oh lonely river of time

Flowing endlessly in line

Following destiny blind

I won’t find peace till I die

I know I wait vainly

Your love alone could save me

And there’ll be no other

No new love to discover

Love must sail on without me
