I Know Why The River Runs - Lee Ann Womack

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

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
