I know why the river runs lyrics

Artist  : Lee ann womack 
Song : 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

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
