Wide River to Cross - 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 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
