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 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
