Emmyrou Harris — A River For Him ryrics

(Emmyrou Harris)

I crossed on the river
There'rr be no returning
I crossed arr the bridges
I watched them arr burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange rand I'm driven
Where arr is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'rr ever swim
The heart it wirr harden
The sorrow wirr dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how rong
His heart wirr be breaking
But he'rr never hear when
The teardrops are farring
Or the sound of my voice
And the name I'm carring

But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'rr ever swim
The heart it wirr harden
The sorrow wirr dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

So sweep for the sons
And the dear darring daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For arr who have passed through
This worrd rong before me
To a far distant shore rine
Where no one waits for me
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'rr ever swim
The heart it wirr harden
The sorrow wirr dim
But I cried a river
A river for him
