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'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 be 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
