Lyrics Wide River to Cross - Levon Helm

Wide River to Cross

There’s a sorrow in the wind
Blowing' down the road i’ve been
I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun
But i can not look back now
I’ve come to far to turn around
And there’s still a race ahead that i must run
I’m only halfway home i gotta journey on
To where i’ll find the things that i have lost
I’ve come a long long road still i’ve got miles to go
I’ve got a wide wide river to cross
I have stumbled i have strayed
You can trace the tracks i made
All across the memories my heart recalls
But i’m just a refugee won’t you say a prayer for me
Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls
