River Run Dry

There's a river down from Ghost Ranch New Mexico
 Left by torrents that tore through here long ago
 It carved out sculpture and left this show
 When the canyon floor is dry
 And there's a river close to home that never seems to flow
 Some part of me that couldn't break the dam below
 Just slow turning circles that won't let go
 Waiting just to fly
 I can't wait any longer
 With these stones around my heart that keep me shy
 So I pray, the river stronger, so I may, before I die
 Say goodbye and run like the river run dry
 I want to sweat through every pore running faster when it's hot
 And catch up to who I can be and drop the things I'm not
 And be sure by the end I gave it all I've got
 And pray to just hold on
 So by the finish line I wouldn't mind falling like rain
 'Stead of saving it for someday, when someday never came
 I want to open up early, push against the pain
 And feel my heart beat strong
 I can't wait, any longer
 There are dreams within my heart I have to try
 So I pray the river stronger, so I may, before I die
 Say goodbye and run like the river run dry
 Let me fall, I can't wait any longer
 With these stones around my heart that keep me shy
 So I pray, the river stronger, so I may, before I die
 Say goodbye and run like the river run dry
