whats that song about suicidle lovers?

Question

its set by a river and the man is singing about her and police came early that morning

Answer 1

Could be Richard Marx - Hazard

Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town

Answer 2

Check out the song called "The River" by Bruce Springsteen and see if that's the one you are talking about.
