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
