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 he's still the man she loves Then she cries 'til the river runs dry He'll be sorry when the morning comes But she cries 'til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry She remembers the way it used to be They were young then and 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 'til the river runs dry And she blames the whole world for his scars so deep Then she cries 'til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry There were so many times before When she 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 he's still the man she loves Then she cries 'til the river runs dry He'll be sorry when the morning comes But she cries 'til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry 'Til the river runs dry
