Levon Helm — Wide River to Cross lyrics

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 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
