It's four in the mornin', I'm tossin' and turnin'

Lord I think that I'm comin' apart

I cry your name in the darkness

As I feel the tears burnin'

It's hard to sleep on a broken heart



You tell me we've been treadin' water

Floatin' on courage and pride

I thought we would last

But now I'm sinkin' fast

In this river of tears that I've cried



I stare out the window

And wonder where did you go

And count the long hours 'til dawn

If I cry me a river it's because I don't know

Why you drifted while I'm hangin' on



You tell me we've been treadin' water

Floatin' on courage and pride

I thought we would last

But now I'm sinkin' fast

In this river of tears that I've cried
