Levon Helm - Wide River To Cross Lyrics

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 half way home
I've got to journey on
To where I'll find, find the thing 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've made
All across the memories my heart recalls

But I'm still a refugee
Won't you say a prayer for me?
For sometimes even the strongest soldier falls

I'm only half way home
I've got to journey on
To where I'll find, I'll find the thing 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 half way home
I've got to journey on
To where I'll find, I'll find the thing 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
