Kelly Willis - Standing by the River lyrics

Well if the moon had eyes it'd see me cryin', cryin' over you And if the stars had ears they'd hear me every night Singin' this lonesome tune I'm standing here by the river Thinkin' about love gone bad It was too late when I realized the best was what I had A foghorn blows in the distance I zip my jacket and tie I watch a tug comin' ‘round the bend Then pa**in' out of sight Like your love it's always comin' and goin' On its way to someplace new And I'm left here by the riverside Just cryin' over you Well if the moon had eyes it'd see me cryin', cryin' over you And if the stars had ears they'd hear me every night Singin' this lonesome tune I'm standing here by the river Thinkin' about love gone bad It was too late when I realized the best was what I had Weeping willow stands there Limbs all hangin' down Tellin' me it knows how I feel Never makin' a sound Lowly it is, Lord, it'd seen ‘em all People come to watch the river flow It's never seen a fool as big as me For ever letting you go And I'm standing here by the riverside Just watching the river flow And I'm standing here by the riverside Just watching the river flow And I'm standing here by the riverside Still trying to let you go Well I'm standing here by the riverside Still trying to let you go
