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 and the name I'm 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 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
