[Verse 1]
I live by the river
And I hide my house away
And just like the river
I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me
You'll stay forever
Inside my heart
Inside my dreams

[Chorus]
And time will fade
In time we'll love

[Verse 2]
In the street we walk as beggars
In the alley, faithless kings
Ah, but it's the truth of life
That chains us in between
Those lost moments we steal
To keep our love alive
And our prize so tired
After all the pain

[Chorus]
And time will fade
In time we'll love
[Verse 3]
Oh, I live by the river
And I hide my house away
And just like the river
I can change my ways
Oh, if you come to love me
You'll stay forever
Inside my heart
Inside my dreams

[Chorus]
But time will fade
In time we'll love
