Your love is colder than a foggy river
Flowin' o'er a heart of stone
You left me stranded on this foggy river
Driftin' helpless and alone

Can't escape this broken heart of mine
There's no freedom anymore
Oh, Heaven help me on this foggy river
Help me find the distant shore

(Instrumental Break)

There's no tomorrow on this foggy river
Only mem'ries linger on
A mist of sorrow chills this foggy river
Ev'rything I love is gone

I always knew some day you'd let me down
I've got troubles on my mind
Guess I'm doomed to sail this foggy river
Till I leave your love behind
