I Know Why The River Runs Lyrics - Broken Things - Julie Miller

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
