Rivers Run Dry I didn't want to say it in this way I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you I didn't want have to explain Sometimes heroes have to lose It's killing me to see you cry Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you It was just another roll of the dice Just another star in the sky Tried to touch it but I couldn't fly Chorus: Everybody knows the promise of the river Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water But there's nothing anybody can do Rivers run dry Gonna have to go away I always told you that a man has got to face his own mistakes Sometimes you get a lucky break Sometimes your winning streak will stay Sometimes you gotta pay Chorus: Everybody knows the promise of the river Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water But there's nothing anybody can do When the rivers run dry Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high Oh, we could make it to the other side Make it to the other side Chorus: Everybody knows the promise of the river Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water But there's nothing anybody can do Oh, there's nothing anybody can do There's nothing anybody can do When the rivers run dry When the rivers run dry
