"My One True Love" lyrics - MARIA MCKEE

A river flows with liquid snow, but it's not for me
Birds fly high in the southern sky, but it's not for me
Cattle roam in fertile fields, but it's not for me
Flowers bloom on a lonely highway, but it's not for me

My one true love I'll never know
I keep to me
My one true love I'll never know
I came to meet the bitter way
For my one true love

Mountain's green in the summertime, but it's not for me
Lovers walk in the falling moonlight, but it's not for me
Mothers love their sons to death, but it's not for me
Salesmen feed on Christmas time, but it's not for me

My one true love I'll never know
I keep to me
My one true love I'll never know
I came to meet the bitter way
For my one true love

Fathers cry for fallen sons, but it's not for me
Good guys in the N16, but it's not for me
Zero stare at the tv screen, but it's not for me
Drifters sleep on quiet [?], but it's not for me

My one true love I'll never know
I keep to me
My one true love I'll never have
I came to meet the bitter way
For my one true love
