River Is Wide Lyrics

Artist: The Kingston Trio

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 free
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
