Where is the love
that you promised me,
but I'm gone like the flowers in the fall.
You crossed your heart,
now you're double -crossing mine
You've been pretending after all
I was sold down the river
to the port of broken heart
Drifting in sorrow down the stream
So down the river,
on a ship that won't return
When it anchors in the sea
of broken dreams
I never dreamed
that your heart would grow so full
Hiding behind the rainbow's end
You must be blind
from the glitter of the gold
Role that will never buy a grin
How I soar down the river
to the port of broken hearts
Drifting in sorrow down the stream
Soar down the river
on a ship that won't return
When it anchors in the sea
of broken dreams
You'll never know what it
means to sit and cry
After your heart is broken, too
Someday you'll learn
that your soul will burn and die
When someone double -crosses you
I want soul down the river
to the poor of broken heart
Drifting in sorrow down the stream
Soul down the river
on a ship that won't return
Plenty of anchors in the sea
of broken dreams
