Light A Candle in Loving Memories

The Water Is Wide

There is a ship
that sails the sea
She’s loaded deep
as deep can be
But not so deep
as the love I’m in
I know not if
I sink or swim.

The sea is wide
I cannot get over
And neither have
I wings to fly.
Give me a boat
that will carry two
that boat shall row
my love and I.

Traditional / Steeleye Span.

 

Dawn Of The Day

When the dawn of the day is a-breaking
When life beckons you to awakening
When spring is in the air
And the world is fresh and fair
When the dawn of the day is a-breaking.

When the noon of the day is a-brightening
When the height of the sky is a-lightening
Your laughter and your tears
Are the summer of your years
When the noon of the day is a-brightening.

When the dusk of the day is a-darkening.
When the evening star is starting
In the autumn of your days
Walk gently in your ways
When the dusk of the day is a-darkening.
