(Glen Campbell - Kella Christian)

On a street in some big city lives the girl I love so well
She left me for another now there's nothing much to tell
As I try to fit my life in a different mold I find
That love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind.

I took a plane to back when I was just a child that played
Time sure changed this old town it's not the same today
As I try to meet old friends none do I find
'Cause love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind.

There's trees along this river that are overgrown with pines
There's pools along this river where the sun will never shine
As I look into my heart and count my loss I find
That love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind.

Yes, love is a lonesome river running through a lonesome mind...
