From the recording Unadorned

Lyrics

RIVER OF BROKEN HEARTS

You told me that you love her
I know that you think it’s true
Hard as it seems
All the things she does to you
You wonder what she’s doing
Whenever you’re apart
But she’ll leave your love floating
On the river of broken hearts

You say that the good times
Often outweigh the bad
Say she makes you happy
But I know she makes you sad
You’re waiting for a sign
That her love for you will start
But she’ll leave your love floating
On the river of broken hearts

As I watch your love
Floating down toward the sea
Your tears only increase the flow
Taking you away from me
I throw you this line
Hoping that in time you’ll see
She’ll leave your love floating out
Into an empty sea
Yes she’ll leave your love floating out
Into an empty sea
