Till The River Runs Dry

she can"t see him stumbling through the door

she don"t hear him laying down the law

she can"t feel him strike her to the floor

she can"t reach him there"s no use anymore

tells herself he"s still the man she loves

then she cries "til the river runs dry

we"ll be sorry when the morning comes

but she cries "til the river runs dry

"til the river runs dry

she remembers the way it used to be

they were young then and life was so carefree

every mountain was small enough to climb

she hangs to every memory sublime

as he slips into a restless sleep

she cries "til the river runs dry

and she blames the whole world for his scars so deep

then she cries "til the river runs dry

"til the river runs dry

there were so many times before

when she walked right out the door

she"s tried so hard to leave him

but when she sees him breaking down

he knows she"ll come around

she can"t see past his tears

or all those years

tells herself he"s still the man she loves

then she cries "til the river runs dry

he"ll be sorry when the morning comes

but she cries "til the river runs dry

"till the river runs dry

"til the river runs dry
