Rivers Run Dry

Intro:
Bm G D A 2x
Bm          G          D            A
My love for you was like a flowing river,
Bm                   G
And you drank me up.. you took too much,
D             A
Now my bed is stone.
Bm           G
And over the shallows,
D                    A
where once the water kissed you…
Bm          G          D            A
there flies a bird, though he flies alone.
Bm          G          D            A
And he flies away…into unknown tomorrows,
Bm          G          D         A
And he waits for the water to return.
Bm          G          D            A
Until that day he sings his song of sorrow,
Bm          G          D         A
So I wait for him to change his tune.
D        A            Bm              G
   Oh bird, are you singing just for me?
D                  G               A
Or are there other rivers that run dry?
D        A           Bm         G
   Oh bird please fly away and see.
D             G             A
I need to know if she's alright.

Bm          G
So he flies away…
D                       A
Though desert sands and mountains.
Bm            G
His wings are tired…
D                      A
but his strength is in his song.
Bm          G          D            A
And he comes to green wide open pastures,
Bm          G          D            A
Cut with a river painted the deepest blue.
Bm          G          D            A
So he stops to drink and then he sees her.
Bm               G
She swims in the shallows,
D                A
Just like she did before.
Bm          G          D            A
He sings his song though she can't hear him…
Bm          G          D            A
For she drinks the water of another love.
D        A            Bm              G
   Oh bird, are you singing just for me?
D                  G               A
Or are there other rivers that run dry?
D        A           Bm         G
   Oh bird please fly away and see.
D             G             A
I need to know if she's alright.
