Bon Jovi River Runs Dry Lyrics

River Runs Dry Lyrics

I didn't want to say it in this way

I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you

I didn't want have to explain

Sometimes heroes have to lose



It's killing me to see you cry

Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you

It was just another roll of the dice, just another star in the sky

Tried to touch it but I couldn't fly



Everybody knows the promise of the river

And everybody goes with the fire in their eyes

Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water

But there's nothing anybody can do, rivers run dry



Gonna have to go away

I always told you that a man has got to face his own mistakes

Sometimes you get a lucky break

Sometimes your winning streak will stay

Sometimes you gotta pay



Everybody knows the promise of the river

Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes

Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water

But there's nothing anybody can do when the rivers run dry



Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high

Oh, and we could make it to the other side

Make it to the other side



Everybody knows the promise of the river

Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes

And everybody knows you can lead a horse to water

But there's nothing anybody can do, oh there's nothing anybody can do

There's nothing anybody can do when the rivers run dry

When the rivers run dry
