Levon Helm - Wide River to Cross

Levon Helm - Wide River to Cross (Dirt Farmer)

One of my favourite songs ever.

Lyrics

there's a sorrow in the wind
blowing' down the road i've been
i can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun

but i can not look back now
i've come to far to turn around
and there's still a race ahead that i must run

i'm only halfway home i gotta journey on
to where i'll find the things that i have lost
i've come a long long road still i've got miles to go
i've got a wide wide river to cross

i have stumbled i have strayed
you can trace the tracks i made
all across the memories my heart recalls
but i'm just a refugee won't you say a prayer for me
cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls

Everyone does NOT need a College Education to succeed on this Earth. We need Farmers, Mechanics, and 'hands-on' people.......who sometimes are smarter than a College Graduate, in their compassionate and Empathy.....othjerwise our EARTH would 'crumble'.

Gorgeous song. Sometimes it makes me cry cause that is how real music will do. It touches you deeply.

@cherimelodie This Wheel's On Fire is GREAT book. Levon does contradict himself on some the Robbie issues, ( hard feelings at that time) but still a book you just can't put it down. Levon is the BEST!

Levon Helm touches my heart and soul a bit like no other artist ever...There is NOBODY recording out there whom I find more genuine, sincere, just absolutely REAL to the core. He also seems to have true humility coupled with an inner wisdom and confidence about what is truly important in this life. Hope he hangs on a good while, yet; he'll go sooo sorely missed. Oh and he's wise to the rotten crap that transpired w/ Robbie and his Band break-up, too. Read his words. Still must get his book(s)!
