Crying A River Won’t Bring Me Back

You wore that red dress

Just to turn and walk away

Left your perfume in my doorway

Like it might make me stay

You been dialing up my shadow

But I ain't livin' there

You can't reach me through those teardrops

Falling in your favorite chair

Crying a river won’t bring me back

You can drown this town in blue and black

You can beg that bedroom clock to turn around

But time don't bargain

Time don't crack

Crying a river won’t bring me back

You put my picture on the counter

Face down by the whiskey glass

Play our song on that old record

Till the needle chews the past

You say you're finally getting honest

With every sorry that you write

But you mailed them to the ashes

Of a love burned out last night

Crying a river won’t bring me back

You can drown this town in blue and black

You can beg that bedroom clock to turn around

But time don't bargain

Time don't crack

Crying a river won’t bring me back

Build your river up to my window

Let it pound against the pane (oh yeah)

I already packed that lifeboat

Floated off your hurricane

Crying a river won’t bring me back

You can drown this town in blue and black

You can beg that bedroom clock to turn around

But time don't bargain

Time don't crack

Crying a river won't

Crying a river won't

Crying a river won’t bring me back
