The River Is Wide

<br>Nick Reynolds<br><br>Chorus:<br>The river is wide I cannot see. Nor do I have light wings to fly.<br>Build me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I.<br><br>My love is like the lofty tree. It shudders fierce and then sways free.<br>If it should fade when the summer`s through, she`ll bloom again when the spring shines through.<br>When love is young, then love is fine. Just like a gem when first it`s new.<br>But love grows old and waxes cold and fades away like the morning dew.<br><br>(Chorus)
