My my sweet lady spare the time for me By the river of sadness true plays hide and seek Send temptation dancing, and put ourselves at ease Won't get offended when conversation leaks. () 'Cause by the River of Sadness my heart unfolds Every time I close my eyes her lovin' covers me By the river of sadness I'm bound to take a peek Every time I take the dare the guilt covers the sweet By the river of sadness, by the river of dreams By the River of sadness my heart unfolds By the River of sadness my heart's on hold By the river of sadness I'm asking for guidance and strength By the river of sadness oh! My heart will mend.
