Chorus:
|
The river is wide I cannot see. Nor do I have light wings to fly.
|
Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I.
|
|
My love is like the lofty tree. It shudders fierce and then sways free.
|
If it should fade when the summer's through, she'll bloom again when the 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.
|
|
(Chorus)
