Lyrics
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 passing of time, and the parting of waters
For all who have passed 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
