I haven't received a letter today
I hope for tomorrow that one's on its way
I have been dreamin' what you would say
Your arms reachin' for me on the ground where you lay


I have been lonely, I have been blue
No longer am I to see you


You'll find me down by the river these days
Thinkin' about your soft tender ways
I still am dreamin' of what you would say
Your arms reachin' for me on the ground where you lay


I have been lonely, I have been blue
No longer am I to see you


Knowin' as soon as I see your sweet face
Won't be as mad at this dirty old place


I have been lonely, I have been blue
I have been lonely, I have been blue
No longer am I to see you



Knowin' as soon as I see your sweet face
I won't be as mad at this wretched old place
