Brandi Carlile
The River Knows How
Love is clumsy, it falls like rain
It brings you flowers then storms away
When we were younger we ran like the wild wind
But now we only run out of things to say
I'm no longer made of water
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
God I wish I were the river
Because the river knows how to run
Damn this place and the way we settled
We sold our dreams for cheaper stuff
The rivers cut through rocks and canyons
But you and I we, we just gave up
I'm no longеr made of water
'Cause I'vе cried until I'm dry as the dust
God I wish I were the river
Because the river knows how to run
Run for the hills, run for my life
Go with the flow, [?]
Run
Holy water wash these sins away
I hear the wild callin' my name
Run
Scatter my ashes in the white rapids
And I'll return to where I come from
I'm no longer made of water
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
God I wish I were the river
Because the river knows how to run
I'm no longer made of water
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
God I wish I were the river
Because the river knows how to run
God I wish I were the river
Because the river knows how to run
