'Til The River Runs Dry

(Album: Behind Closed Doors - 1995)

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 she's still the man she loves
She cries till the river runs dry
And he'll be sorry when the morning comes
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

She remembers the way it used to be
They were young then amd life was so carefree
Every mountain was small enough to climb
She hangs on to every memory sublime

As he slips into a restless sleep
She cries till the river runs dry
And she blames the whole world for his scars so deep
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

There were so many times before,
When she'd 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 she's still the man she loves
She cries till the river runs dry
And he'll be sorry when the morning comes
She cries till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry

Till the river's all run dry

She can't reach him
There's no use anymore
