There's a cold rain pouring out of your weary eyes Water from the well that's drying out inside And quiet like a whisper It crawls over your skin like a shallow river It's the quiet sound of goodbye In the garden of your mind Where the cold wind shivers And turn into the stream of a shallow river If I only knew the words But the answer to your questions they are still unheard And I know it tears you down It's not easy to let go of someone you really care about Like a bloodstream it streams into your head again Oh love is as soft as a piece of bread And tears can taste so bitter As they crawl over your lips like a shallow river There's hunger in your eyes Screaming for love like the night screams for daylight And through your veins it wanders But like the wound in your mind We'll all come to heal from time to time Like a cold wave of winter As it freezes the weight of a roaring river And love hurts whenever it pleases Well I guess we all have to deal with it Sometimes your heart feels sad But it's always darkest before the dawn It's hard to see the future until the light turns on And a broken heart grows bigger And stronger in the waves of a shallow river
