'Til the River Runs Dry

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
We"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 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
"till the river runs dry
"til the river runs dry
