Lyrics

Like A River

The sun came up on a beautiful day
Birds were singing but I couldn't stay
I went downstairs and tried to write a note
I threw it away when I read what I wrote
You were still sleeping
On your side of the bed
When the memories came rushing
Like a river into my head

I went outside to my beat up old car
I had to do some magic trying to get it to start
I was headed south out to the interstate
Tryin' to beat the traffic before it got too late
I was finally leaving like I always said
When the memories came rushing
Like a river into my head

The memories come rushing
Like a river into my head
Thinking about all the things we never said
Memories that will haunt me until I'm dead
Bittersweet movies of the life we lead

Well I made it out to the county line
I ordered up some coffee and the Drive and Dine
I don't know why I decided to call
You were standing sleepy by the phone in the hall
You said you were dreaming that I was there in bed
When the memories came rushing
Like a river into my head

The memories come rushing
Like a river into my head
Thinking about all the things we never said
Memories that will haunt me until I'm dead
Bittersweet movies of the life we lead
