River of Tears Songtext
von Highway 101

It′s four in the mornin', I′m tossin' and turnin'
Lord I think that I′m comin′ apart
I cry your name in the darkness
As I feel the tears burnin'
It′s hard to sleep on a broken heart


You tell me we've been treadin′ water
Floatin' on courage and pride
I thought we would last
But now I′m sinkin' fast
In this river of tears that I've cried

I stare out the window
And wonder where did you go
And count the long hours ′til dawn
If I cry me a river it′s because I don't know
Why you drifted while I′m hangin' on


You tell me we′ve been treadin' water
Floatin′ on courage and pride
I thought we would last
But now I'm sinkin' fast
In this river of tears that I′ve cried
