I Know Why The River Runs

julie miller

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
