I Know Why The River Runs

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
