A River For Him

I crossed on the river There'll be no returning I crossed all the bridges I watched them all burning And now I'm a stranger To a strange land I'm driven Where all is forgotten And nothing's forgiven But I cried a river A river for him That's deeper and wider Than I'll ever swim The heart it will harden The sorrow will dim But I cried a river A river for him I think of him now On the road I am taking And wonder how long His heart will be breaking But he'll never hear when The teardrops are falling Or the sound of my voice Or the name I am calling But I cried a river A river for him That's deeper and wider Than I'll ever swim The heart it will harden The sorrow will dim But I cried a river A river for him So weep for the sons And the dear darling daughters For the pa*sing of time And the parting of waters For all who have pa*sed through This world long before me To a far distant shore line Where no one waits for me But I cried a river A river for him That's deeper and wider Than I'll ever swim The heart it will harden The sorrow will dim But I cried a river A river for him
