The River Knows How (feat. Brandi Carlile)

Love is clumsy, it falls like rain

It brings you flowers then storms away

When we were younger, we ran like the wild wind

But now we only run out of things to say

I'm no longer made of water

'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust

God I wish I were the river

Because the river knows how to run (Run, run, run, run)

Damn this place, and the way we settled

We sold our dreams for cheaper stuff

Rivers cut through rocks and canyons

But you and I we, we just gave up

I'm no longer made of water

'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust

God I wish I were the river

Because the river knows how to run (Run, run, run, run)

Run for the hills, run for my life

Go with the flow, out with the tide

Run, run, run, run (The river knows how)

Holy water wash these sins away

I hear the wild callin' my name

Run, run, run, run (The river knows how)

Run, run, run, run

Scatter my ashes in the white rapids

And I'll return to where I come from

I'm no longer made of water

'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust

God I wish I were the river

Because the river knows how to run

I'm no longer made of water

'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust

God I wish I were the river

Because the river knows how to run (Run, run, run, run)

Wild wind run (The river knows how)

Wild wind run (The river knows)

Wild wind run (The river knows how)

Wild wind run (The river knows how)

Wild wind run

God I wish I were the river

Because the river knows how to run
