River,
river, look at you run
A thousand miles from where you've begun
As the fields and houses you roam
Leave me here with no one to hold
The stars are out,
the moon shines bright What good does it do me tonight?
Broken heartland If only I could hold him again
I'm out here doing the best that I can On my own in broken heartland
I know every cinder and stone The only place I ever called home
The shortcuts and the dusty back roads Secret places we used to go
I laid here on the bed where we slept How am I supposed to forget?
Broken heartland If only I could hold him again
Strike the match and whisper his name
Watch the memory go down in flames
Broken heartland If only I could hold him again
I'm out here doing the best that I can On my own in broken heartland
If only I could hold him
again I'm out here doing the best that I can
On my own in broken heartland
