LEE ANN WOMACK LYRICS



"I Know Why The River Runs"


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

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  



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
