River Runs Deep

Start

Intro

Weathered hands on six rusted strings

A melody haunts me as the church bell rings

The story begins where the crossroads meet

Where lost souls gather and old friends greet

Verse 1

Dusty roads lead to nowhere towns

Where neon signs flicker as the sun goes down

I've been running from shadows for too long

Trying to find where my heart belongs

Pre-Chorus

These rivers of time just keep rolling on

Washing away what's broken and gone

Verse 1

Autumn leaves falling on the riverside

Reminds me of the tears I've tried to hide

An old photograph in a tattered frame

Holding memories of a forgotten name

Pre-Chorus

These blues run deeper than they ever did before

Like footprints washed away along the shore[Start]

Verse 1

Autumn leaves falling on the riverside

Reminds me of the tears I've tried to hide

An old photograph in a tattered frame

Holding memories of a forgotten name

Pre-Chorus

These blues run deeper than they ever did before

Like footprints washed away along the shore

Chorus

River runs deep through my soul tonight

Carrying memories out of sight

Love that slipped away like water through my hands

I'm still learning how to understand

Post-Chorus

Oh, the river knows, the river knows

Oh, the river knows[Chorus]

River runs deep through my soul tonight

Carrying memories out of sight

Love that slipped away like water through my hands

I'm still learning how to understand

Post-Chorus

Oh, the river knows, the river knows

Oh, the river knows

Verse 2

Empty bottle on the table by the door

These four walls have heard it all before

Midnight shadows dance across the floor

Heart still longing for something more

Pre-Chorus

Time keeps rolling like that river down below

Some things change and some things never go

Chorus

River runs deep through my soul tonight

Carrying memories out of sight

Love that slipped away like water through my hands

I'm still learning how to understand

Post-Chorus

Oh, the river knows, the river knows

Oh, the river knows[Bridge]

Stars are hiding behind smoky clouds

Whispers of yesterday growing loud

Memory's current pulls me down

To a place where you're still around

Verse 3

Morning light breaks through bedroom blinds

Another day to leave the past behind

This old guitar knows my every truth

The songs we shared in distant youth

Pre-Chorus

Time keeps rolling like that river down below

Some things heal and some things help you grow

Chorus

River runs deep through my soul tonight

Carrying memories out of sight

Love that slipped away like water through my hands

I'm still learning how to understand

Outro

The river knows where I need to go

The river knows what I need to know

The river knows...
