Rivers Run Dry

Intro:
Bm G D A 2x


Bm          G          D        
My love for you was like a 
    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        
there flies a bird, though he 
    A
flies alone.
Bm          G          D   
And he flies away…into unknown 
         A
tomorrows,
Bm          G          D  
And he waits for the water to 
       A
return.
Bm          G          D        
Until that day he sings his song
    A
 of sorrow,
Bm          G          D    
So I wait for him to change his 
     A
tune.

D        A            Bm        
   Oh bird, are you singing just
      G
 for me?
D                  G              
Or are there other rivers that run 
 A
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        
And he comes to green wide open 
    A
pastures,
Bm          G          D        
Cut with a river painted the 
    A
deepest blue.
Bm          G          D        
So he stops to drink and then he
    A
 sees her.
Bm               G
She swims in the shallows,
D                A
Just like she did before.
Bm          G          D        
He sings his song though she 
    A
can't hear him…
Bm          G          D        
For she drinks the water of 
    A
another love.


D        A            Bm        
   Oh bird, are you singing just
      G
 for me?
D                  G              
Or are there other rivers that run 
 A
dry?
D        A           Bm         G
   Oh bird please fly away and see.
D             G             A
I need to know if she's alright.
