Original lyrics
ENChorus:
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)
