lyrics

Why do I miss someone when you are right here?
What kind of river can catch my dry tears?
What muddy river flowing down through the years
will carry me away from my confusion and fears?

I've had me some times a wiser man would have
left behind.
I've followed winding roads to see what I could find.
And I found me times that I could leave behind,
never going, always coming toward one more good time.
Well, lady, throw your dishes, but please don't cry.
If I'm gone tomorrow, I'll try to tell you why.

I've always liked hellos, I've never said goodbye.
But tonight it's still a tossup; I just can't decide.

If there's a God, maybe He can understand
the torture of decision in an undecided man.
Indecision's come upon me like the river once again.
My leaving you'll get over; indecision is the sin.

Why do I miss someone when you are right here?
What kind of river can catch my dry tears?
What muddy river flowing down through the years
will carry me away from my confusion and fears?
