Harris, Emmylou - 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
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
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 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

Harris, Emmylou A River For Him Comments
I think most people involved probably even Emmylou herself do not know the extent of the evil that is Gretchen Burrel Parsons Carpenter and the wickedness that she inflicted.
Don't know that story...
Hey Emmy. On that distant shore he IS waiting there for you.
She never forgot.
Another beautiful song full of emotions.
The ageless beauty and genius that is Emmylou Harris.
once the tears stop i may be able to write something...........
ELH, L.D, D.P my favs. But I do have many more Lol
einfach nur super
There are some loves you never do get over.
Emmylou "The one and only" Harris. .....she's amazing.
Could this be for Mark?
Dang! These tears won't stop. Genius!
Emmy could melt an iceberg.
THANK YOU! I had never heard this song. So haunting.
I was thrilled to read that the couple in Almost Famous, harmonizing in the hotel room, was supposed to be Gram and Emmylou. I never thought deeply about it, and it was always a mystery. 'Small TIme Blues', indeed!
And a thought - who got the 'better' deal? Emmylou, losing the love of her life, early, or Joan Baez - forever knowing Dylan was there, just out of reach? My guess is ELH. Gram was on a downhill slide where he likely would never recover.
Jon Doe who is elh?
What an amazing talent
This song would fit perfectly in The Ballad of Sally Rose album.
God bless Emmylou.
Hail hail.
Vorrei sognare con te
