[Verse 1] The stones on the river bed Where the river used to flow lying like the forgotten dead sinking in the earth below I drag my shoes through the dust Like scars that will not heal Your name in the riverbed Reflecting how I feel [Pre-Chorus] The reflections have left Even the shadows have grown thin The riverbank broke apart Will the water flow back in [Chorus] Dry river, dry river You ran out on me Dry river, dry river You left me in rhis heat I called out your name Where the river used to bend Dry river, dry river Will you ever flow again [Verse 2] A blue heron circles low Then dips out of sight Behind the yellow fading grass At the coming of the night I found an old golden ring Half buried in the clay faded like the greenery But I kept it anyway [Pre-Chorus] If the rain falls down tonight I’ll stand and praise the sky For filling up the river that's turned dusty and dry [Chorus] Dry river, dry river You ran out on me Dry river, dry river Left me with the heat I keep calling your name At the bottom of the bend Dry river, dry river Will you ever fill again [Bridge] Maybe the sky remembers What the dusty earth forgot Maybe one hard storm Returns what we have lost Untll that time I'll watch Those bleached pebbles gleam And wait for your return Within my dreams [Chorus] Dry river, dry river You ran out on me Dry river, dry river Left me with the heat I keep calling your name At the bottom of the bend Dry river, dry river Will you ever fill again
