I Know Why The River Runs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 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
