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.
