Lyrics
River of Tears
Verse:
It's hard ta talk to you it's just the same old song
Nothin bothers you, there's never nothin wrong
I try ta tell myself I'll rise above the tide
ta cross the bridge between you & I
Chorus:
In my heart there's a River of Tears
That I must sail on
In my heart there's a River of Tears
Without your love the river will run
Verse:
I tried ta reach you I went out on a limb
I tried ta get inside but you wouldn't let me in
Ya see it's complicated, it's hard ta understand
But the simple truth is I'm punished I am damned
Chorus:
In my heart there's a River of Tears
That I must sail on
In my heart there's a River of Tears
Without your love the river will run
Bridge:
Ya think you know me and I'll never turn away
But rivers can run dry and change along the way
Now it's your turn ta say
Chorus:
In my heart there's a River of Tears
That I must sail on
In my heart there's a River of Tears
Without your love the river will run
