[Verse 1] I woke up with the sheets all cold Your side of the bed still hurtin' me Coffee black and the window low Same old ache in the back of me I tried to laugh, I tried to pray But that hurt don't listen, no sir It just sits in my chest all day Like a storm with nowhere to go [Pre-Chorus] And it runs so deep Way past my skin Honey, it follows me Wherever I've been [Chorus] Deep river cry Deep river cry It runs right through me Deep river cry Deep river cry Deep river cry Ain't no end in sight Deep river cry [Verse 2] Your name still hangs on my tongue Like smoke in a screen door frame I can hear your boots on the floor In every room, every windowpane The night got long, the moon got mean And it keeps on asking where you went I got this wound, I got this heat And I can't make my heart forget [Pre-Chorus] It runs so deep Down to my bones I keep your shadow Wherever I go [Chorus] Deep river cry Deep river cry It runs right through me Deep river cry Deep river cry Deep river cry Ain't no end in sight Deep river cry [Bridge] If I could pour it out I'd pour the whole thing down Let it flood that old porch Let it shake this town But the hurt stays here Like a weight in the dark I sing it low and slow Till it leaves a mark [Chorus] Deep river cry Deep river cry It runs right through me Deep river cry Deep river cry Deep river cry Ain't no end in sight Deep river cry [Outro] Oh, it runs so deep Deep river cry Oh, it runs so deep Deep river cry
