linda ronstadt - a river for him 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 p-ssing of time
and the parting of waters
for all who have p-ssed through
this world long before me
to a far distant sh-r- 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
