River Too Wide (River Too Deep)
©Jerry Axson

I can’t find my way...
no, I can’t find my way back...
Well, I went to cross the river but the water she rises high today -
guess I’ll come back tomorrow - cause tomorrow’s always another day,
I’ll be standing on the shore with my heart in my hand -
you’ll be sure to see me there but you won’t understand -
so close and yet so far away...

I can’t find my way...
no, I can’t find my way back...
I’ve been waiting in the shadows here for twenty seven long years -
Well I lost a lot of hope, took a lot of hits, cried a whole lot of tears,
It never seems the same when you’re on the other side -
there ain't much difference between ignorance and pride -
that much I know is crystal clear...

I can’t find my way back...
no, I can’t find my way back...
I can’t find my way back...
a river too wide - a river too deep...
no, I can’t find my way back...
lay me down in this water and let me sleep...
I can’t find my way back...
I will dream a dream of sweet release...
no, I can’t find my way back...
from a river too wide - a river too deep...

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
