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

I know why the sky is cryin
