i know why the river runs

when i reach to hold you

i'll still be alone

when i heard 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 send 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 keep

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
