The River Is Wide Lyrics

The River Is Wide
The Kingston Trio

Not charted as a single--from their "Make Way" LP
English folk song with modern lyrics by Ovid Young

The river is wide, I cannot see
Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

My love is like the lofty tree
It shudders fears and then sways freeThe Kingston Trio - The River Is Wide - http://motolyrics.com/the-kingston-trio/the-river-is-wide-lyrics.html
If it should fade when the summer's through
She'll bloom again when Spring shines through

When love is young, then love is fine
Just like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

The river is wide, I cannot see
Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
