Lee Ann Womack - I Know Why The River Runs lyrics

When i reach to hold you...

I'll still be alone

When i hear the ringing...

of the telephone

I think it is you...

It will not be true

Chorus:

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 see me home...

but you will never come

Chorus:

I know why the river runs to a place somewhere far away

I know why the sky is crying 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'll lie here for so long, but you will never come...

Repeat chorus
