The River Is Wide Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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 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 

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
