The water is wide

 

 

Another perfect morning at "Riverbend". I am sitting on the jetty with a glass of retsina and listen to the Seekers. Remember the Seekers? Back in the 1960s I bought every one of their singles and albums even if they cost me then close to a week's wages. Good memories!

 

[Verse 1]
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

[Verse 2]
A ship there is and sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
And I know not now I sink or swim

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When love is young and love is fine
It's like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

[Verse 1]
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

 

Of course, you may not have been a Seeker fan - and boo to you if you weren't - so here's the even more haunting instrumental version.

 

 

Magical music to start another magical day in a magical place.
