crossed on the river, there'll be no returning.
_ [E] I crossed all the rivers, I watched them all over.
And [G#m] now I'm a stranger [F#] to a strange land I know,
[E] where all is forgotten [F#] and _ nothing's forgiven.
_ _ _ [E] But I crossed _ _ a river _ _ _ [B] that's deeper in water
than I'll ever _ _ [E] know.
A heart in with _ [B] the sorrow, _ _ _ but I crossed a river _
[F#] for _ [B] him. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I think of him now on the road I am taking
[E] and wonder how long his heart will be breaking.
_ [G#m]
But he'll never hear when [F#] the teardrops are falling,
or [E] the sound of my voice and [F#] the name I'm calling him.
_ [E] But I crossed a river, _ a river for him _
[B] that's deeper in water
than _ _ I'll ever swim.
[E] The heart in the heart, the [B] sorrow will do.
But I crossed a river, [F#] a river _ _ [B] for him. _ _

_ So we pour the suns and the dear _ darling darts
for [E] the passing of time [B] [E] and the parting of waters.
[G#m] For all who would pass through [F#] this world long before me,
to [E] a far distant shore, [F#] there no one waits for me.

[E] But I crossed a river, a river for him [B] that's deeper in water
_ than I'll ever swim.
[E] The heart in the heart, [B] the sorrow will do.
But I crossed a river, [F#] a river _ [B] for him. _ _ _ _ _
