lyrics

The only water I can find falls from my eyes
'Cause I can't see the rain, no matter how hard I try
I tried to dig for love, but your wells have all run dry
And I don't know why

Winter nights are cold, and so's the breaking day
When the ice and snow has locked your love away
Will your rivers fill the beds we used to lay?
Well I cannot say

All I can do is pray
You let your lovin' down

Your love is like the ghost of a river
Carving channels in me cracked, broken, and brown
And i’m left to make the most of the water
When it flows down
When it flows down

Did your feelings flow like all this running sand
Spilling down like years between my bleeding hands?
Every day I pray your waters run again
But I don't know when

Now all I do is pray
You let your lovin' down

Your love is like the ghost of a river
Carving channels in me cracked, broken, and brown
And i’m left to make the most of the water
When it flows down
When it flows down

When it flows down
When the winter melt runs down from 'round your heart
When it flows down
Down beneath the bridges burned when we were apart
When it flows down
Will it wash away the ways I could tell
You never loved me well?

Your love is like the ghost of a river
Washing all my channels wide, battered, and blue
And I pray I can stay clear of the water
When it pours through
When it pours through
When it pours down from you
