I Know Why The River Runs - Julie Miller

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
