I Know Why the River Runs Lyrics

When I reach to hold you
I'll still be alone
When I hear 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 soon 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 hear
There's a hole now where my heart used to be
They say that healing comes in time
But I don't know what that means

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
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
When there aren't any words to say
When there aren't any words to say

Julie Miller (born 3 January 1956 in Waxahachie, Texas) is a country songwriter, singer, and recording artist currently living in Nashville, Tennessee. Julie Miller has been married to Buddy Miller for 20 years. They sing and play on each other's solo projects and have recorded a duets album on HighTone Records.

Her most popular song is All My Tears, which also featured parts by Emmylou Harris and jazz vocalist Jimmy Scott, was written after the death of Mark Heard.

Miller's musical career initially took off after singer Sam Phillips discovered a demo tape by the artist and turned it over to friends at Myrrh Records. Miller was signed to a contract and recorded her first solo album, Meet Julie Miller for the label.

After the 1998 Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland, local singer Juliet Turner performed a version of Broken Things at a memorial service for the victims of the bombing.

Buddy & Julie Miller teamed up with Victoria Williams, Mark Olson, and Jim Lauderdale for a European tour billed as "The Rolling Creek Dippers" in the 90's. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
