Lee Ann Womack I Know Why the River Runs Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C Dm F G (2x)
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
CHORUS:
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is crying
When there aren't any words to say
INTERLUDE: Am F C G Am F C G
I could play the message___
That you left for me
I can hear your voice and__
I could still believe
That you will soon be home
But you will never come
CHORUS:
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is crying
When there aren't any words to say
INTERLUDE: Am F C G Am
BRIDGE:
There's a silence that I don't want to keep
There's a hole now where my heart used to be
You say that healing comes in time
But I don't know what that means_________
INSTRUMENTAL: C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G Dm
I lie here for so long
But you will never come_____
CHORUS:
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is crying
When there aren't any words to say
CHORUS:
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is crying
When there aren't any words to say
OUTRO: (## repeat riff and fade to end)
I know why the river runs_________
