lee ann womack - i know why the river runs lyrics

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

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
