River Runs Dry

about

This recording is the first time I ever played this song... I sat down in the choir room of my brother's church and put my iphone on the piano and poured out my heart.
At the time I was in an emotionally abusive relationship... my closest friend's and family were worried about me and voiced it... soon after I broke it off with this fellow. I do hope he has found a place of peace in his heart.
I know God has restored mine. Sometimes people come our way, and our hope is we leave them better... sometimes they don't feel that way... and sometimes neither do we.

lyrics

This River Runs dry
I found love
The journey's long and my soul's song says that
I found love

Its wearing me thin
look at this state I'm in

Its breaking my heart
right at the start

How can something so right
hurt me so well

How can I give up the fight
when its too soon to tell?

I give it all to You Father
I give it all to You…

I give it all to You Father
I give it all to You

<musical interlude>

How can something so right
hurt me so well

How can I give up the fight
when its too soon to tell?

I give it all to You Father
I give it all to You…

I give it all to You Father
I give it all to You

Recorded on an old steinway baby grand in the choir room of a church.
Singing and playing into the voice memo app of my old iphone that got cracked and then unfortunately was left at the air gate at LAX Airport and never found again. RIP old iPhone - how I've missed you since I got a droid. They're just not the same.
