Wide River to Cross Songtext
von Levon Helm

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 cannot look back now
I′ve come too far to turn around
And there's still a race ahead that I must run

I'm only halfway home, I′ve gotta journey on
To where I′ll find, find the things I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I′ve got some miles to go
I've got a wide, a 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 still a refugee, won't you say a prayer for me?
′Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls

I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I′ll find, I′ll find the things I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I′ve got some miles to go
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross

I′m only halfway home, I've gotta journey on
To where I′ll find, I'll find the things that I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I′ve got some miles to go
I′ve got a wide, a wide river to cross
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross
