I Know Why The River Runs Lyrics - I Hope You Dance - 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
