Whiskey Tears (Slowed)

Hmm, Mmm, mmm. Hmm, oh yeah. I watched your tail lights disappear Into the darkness of last year. And ever since that lonely day, My heart's been drifting away. The wind keeps calling through the Trees, Like a sorrowful melody. And every road I travel down leads back To where you left this town. I thought time would dry these Eyes, But the pain still rolls in like the Tide. I'm drowning in a deep river of Tears, Flowing through the lonely years. Carrying every broken Dream you left behind With me. This deep river of tears Runs through my soul night and day. No matter how far I try to go, It washes me Away. The moon hangs heavy over town, Like it knows I'm breaking down. The jukebox plays our favorite song, And suddenly you're not gone. I hold a glass of red wine tight, Trying to make it through the night. But every sip just brings me back to the Love I thought would last. Some memories never fade from view. They're written in the blues of you. I'm drowning in a deep river of Tears, Flowing through the lonely years. Carrying every broken dream You left behind with me. This deep river of tears Runs through my soul night and day. No matter how far I try to go, It washes me away. Maybe someday, The river will run dry. Maybe someday, I'll stop asking why. But tonight, its waters pull me in To the place where we have Been. I'm drowning in a deep River of tears. But I can see the other side, Where the pain becomes a memory And the heart learns to survive. This deep river of tears Has taught me how to carry On. Though your love is gone forever, My spirit's still strong. The river keeps flowing, The night keeps moving on. And somewhere beyond the heartbreak, A New dawn waits for me.
