I Know Why the River Runs

When I reach to hold you I'll still be alone When I hear the ringin of the telephone I'll think it is you It will not be true I know why the river runs To a place somewhere far away I know why the sky is cryin When there aren't any words to say I could play the message that you left for me I can hear your voice and I could still believe That you will soon me home But you will never come I know why the river runs To a place somewhere far away I know why the sky is cryin When there aren't any words to say There's a silence that I don't want to hear There's a hole now where my heart used to be They say that healing comes in time But I don't know what that means I lie here for so long But you will never come I know why the river runs To a place somewhere far away I know why the sky is cryin When there aren't any words to say I know why the river runs To a place somewhere far away I know why the sky is cryin When there aren't any words to say When there aren't any words to say When there aren't any words to say >From Julie Miller 'Broken Things' Hightone Records 1999
