River of Tears Lyrics

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
