Wide River To Cross Lyrics - Dirt Farmer - 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 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
